What happens next? Well, it's time for our motorhome trip to Wismar in Germany! We came home from Switzerland on Friday evening and I (Helena) have (almost) worked for three days. And now it's time again! We are travelling with the motorhome towards Wismar in Germany - and we are joined by no less than ten motorhomes.
At home in Stockholm
We are at home in the houseboat now and taking the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful environment here in Pampas marina. It swings a little bit, the rams beat and our "friend" the heron lands opposite our houseboat every morning. Then it's time to walk along the Karlberg Canal and Karlberg Lake to my job ...
Travelling to Germany
But now it's time to move on again! In Wismar, Germany, there will be Sweden Festival, which attracts 100 000 participants every year to celebrate the fact that Wismar was once part of Sweden. There will be marches, music, choirs, sales and parties throughout the city. We have been looking forward to this for a long time!
We are planning to organise guided motorhome trips in the future and wanted to "practice" a bit by asking if any other motorhome drivers wanted to join us. After a quick question on the blog, there were suddenly eleven motorhomes! It has been very more work than we thought with all the bookings, but it will be very fun to finally get away. And great fun to meet all the others down in Trelleborg. We hope you will join us on the journey!

I spent several years in Wismar, Rostock, Schwerin, Rügen etc. and loved the area. If you have time to do something other than the Sweden Festival, I recommend Schwerin which is just a stone's throw away. Schwerin, Wismar and Rügen were the trip's favourites.
You can read about all the cities I visited here. http://www.ladiesabroad.se/2016/09/tag-nordtyskland.html and here Schwerin http://www.ladiesabroad.se/2016/08/schwerin.html
Have a nice trip!

Mr Steve says:
Full steam ahead as usual. It will be fun to "hang out" in Wismar and experience Schwedenfest.
Good luck with your mate the heron. It is fun with individuals who return year after year. You really experience them as a friend.

Helena says:
Yes, it's full roll ... And with the heron it feels exactly as you describe! He (she?) seems to thrive in the marina 🙂

Would have been fun to hang on, but changed travel plans. We got a little extra time off and go down to the sun and salty baths, been poor this summer with it. Enjoy your RV ride!
16 August 2017 - 8:08
Helena says:
Sweden has been a bit cold this year ... Where are you going?
16 August 2017 - 16:23
Hasse says:
Hello again, we are pointing the compass towards Dalmatia. It's a bit far, so we will see, but Primosten, Trogir, Makarska is the main track. We have three weeks, with experiences and salty baths. Will probably be a few stops during the trip itself as well. Otherwise, we had pkt with to Swedenfrsten, but you can not have time for everything. All the best!

Matts Torebring says:
The job is encroaching on our free time, but we follow along anyway, on the trailer as usual. The beautiful starting picture, isn't it up at "Rörstrandsgatan" in the background? Have a nice trip!
16 August 2017 - 8:34
Helena says:
Yes, but that's right. That's Karlbergssjön and Karlbergskanalen, but in the background is Rörstrandsgatan.

Motorhome Helge says:
Yes, we can also follow along via the blog. Good luck to you all!

Frida G Svensson says:
it seems so easy to take a motorhome holiday. But then again, I'm an overly comfortable person with a penchant for everyday luxury. I don't know if a motorhome is for me. But you make it sound so lovely.
16 August 2017 - 9:46
Helena says:
Modern motorhomes are luxurious 🙂 And they are convenient and free at the same time 🙂 .

What a fun thing, I almost wish I had a motorhome 🙂 .

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
Would have been really fun to join us, but this time we have changed our holiday plans several times. Planned Abiskoresan is postponed as SMHI only promised clouds and rain so tomorrow we take off for Crete.... So it can be! Will be fun to follow you and know from experience that it is more work than you think to fix a travel concept. Have a good time!
16 August 2017 - 11:56
Helena says:
What a change!!! But good that you can change plan like that 😉 Hope you get super nice in Crete!

What a great header image!
Of course I'm coming to Wismar!
16 August 2017 - 13:52
Helena says:
Glad you like the picture! I find that I always go the same way, and yet you find new motifs 😉.

Lena in Wales says:
Nice pictures!
So many interesting things about Switzerland! have only had time to skim, but when I get some time off I will go back and read more.
Have a nice trip!

Ditte says:
I like the "header image" so much. I lived here at Karlberg in my childhood and it still feels like home. Have spent a lot of time here and what a playground it was.
Nice walkway to pass here.
Wishing you a great trip and of course I will join you.
16 August 2017 - 18:18
Helena says:
Glad you like the picture! I often take photos here, but it's fun that there can still be new views sometimes 🙂 ...

But oh how cool with so many motorhomes travelling together! You will have so much fun!
16 August 2017 - 18:24
Helena says:
It will be very fun! A slightly different experience 🙂

Anna, Travel on a Cloud says:
Oh, so much fun! Understand that it was a lot of work with the bookings but so wonderful to get away with other motorhomes.
I think your upcoming guided tours will be a success!
16 August 2017 - 18:51
Helena says:
It feels like a great idea! We'll see how it goes this weekend, haha... 😉.

It will be nice to follow you on this trip, again. I was just there so it will also be fun to see some pictures so I can almost experience again. Would have liked to come along but the owners say it was too close and they have no opportunity to take a holiday now again.
