Everything has an end, and it was finally time for the Strandkorgsgänget to travel back to Sweden, after an exciting week in Germany. We took Stena Line from Sassnitz to Trelleborg, drove a bit home and then found a really nice pitch.

Ferry from Sassnitz to Trelleborg
Yesterday we took the Stena Line ferry from Sassnitz on Rügen to Trelleborg in Skåne. We looked for a while for the border shop before we discovered that it existed. inside check-in. There were a few cases of wine and beer for us, and now it will be interesting to see how it fits in our little car ...
Buffet on board a Stena Line ferry
We left the German harbour at 13:00, and by then we were already munching on the buffet. The shorter ferry journeys between Germany and Sweden are a bit more boring compared to the longer, beautiful ferry journey between Germany and Sweden. the ferry journey between Kiel and Gothenburg. Nevertheless, we have to say that we were really happy with the buffet in the Taste restaurant, especially all the cold items on the buffet table: prawns, salmon, herring, shrimp scrambles, cheese pie and various cheeses.
A last meeting with the gang on the trip
The "Beach Basket Challenge" motorhome trip finally came to an end. It is always special to travel together as a group and it is easy to feel a bit empty afterwards. At least we had a chance to socialise on the boat before it was time to hug and part ways. At least for this time.
Overnight parking space
We arrived in Trelleborg at 17:00 and then it was time for everyone to roll in different directions. We will return the motorhome that we borrowed to test, a Swift Toscane 794eb, but first it had to be another night in the motorhome. We rolled into Persköps car park, at Persköp 155 outside Örkelljunga. This turned out to be a really scenic and nice site, with 36 places for motorhomes and caravans next to a lake.
Service at Persköps car park
It costs SEK 180 to stay at the Persköps car park, and you pay easily by card in a small machine. Once you've paid, you choose a site on the map by pressing a button, and then you can use the electricity in the pole. There is also water, the possibility of emptying tanks, rubbish collection, toilets, showers and the possibility of buying ice cream by paying by swipe.
Take-what-you-have meal in the campervan
When we arrived at the campsite, we realised that we had ... forgotten to buy food. So what was in the cupboards? Some breakfast bread, some pâté and a sausage we got during a trip in Skåne. It worked great!
We were tired and enjoyed getting a good rest, while of course it felt a bit empty after the trip. But it didn't have to feel so empty after all - the whole gang texted each other all evening, from different places in Sweden!

Everything has an end - except the sausage which has two.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the trip. It has been interesting, fun, winding, exciting, sunny, a bit rainy, yummy and a bit stressful.
Hugs to you and we are already looking forward to next year's trip!

We would also like to thank you for letting us discover this part of Germany together with you and the great team!
We now realise that we have so much more to explore in one of our closest countries.
Take care and be safe on your way home!

What a fantastic journey you have been on and that you have shared with us. We have received many good tips. Unfortunately, we did not come this time but maybe it can be another year. In the autumn we go to Albania with a motorhome and intend to use your experiences from this country.

Lovely pictures from the last hours on Stena Line. Everyone seems to be really happy and satisfied after the week they experienced. Fun!
Yes, and tomorrow a normal weekday awaits again, but fortunately it is a short week too. In case you have to recover, I mean;-)

Oh good with a buffet! Örkelljunga I am not so fond of but the place you found seems really nice! Welcome home! ?

Thank you very much! Oh, I have never been inside Örkelljunga itself actually? In any case, the parking space is very nice 🙂

Can believe that it feels like cotton in the head after such a week 🙂 Nice to be home, I guess. Although it is nice to be travelling.
