Nature tourism is increasing in Halland - now nature guides are being trained.
Halland has emerged as one of the hottest destinations for nature enthusiasts in southern Sweden. Therefore, Visit Halland is now training 40 nature guides in how to better market themselves to private individuals and conference guests, who want to go out into nature and learn more about edible plants and mushrooms, get fishing tips, discover new mountain bike trails, go game viewing or experience yoga at forest baths.

Vaxholmsbolaget asks people not to travel with them at Easter
To prevent the spread of infection, places on board Waxholmsbolaget's ships are still limited. The company can therefore not transport as many people as usual at Easter. This is Waxholmsbolaget's advice for Easter 2021:
- Don't travel with Waxholmsbolaget unless you have to.
- Always wear a face mask when travelling.
- Try to avoid times when many others want to travel.
- Remember that if you fall ill in the archipelago, you cannot take the boat home.
- Those who live in the archipelago and have an island card are encouraged to book their place in advance via Waxholmsbolaget's customer service.

Reflection of the week
Imagine not even being surprised anymore when you read press releases saying "Please don't travel with us at Easter!". How different the world has become! And even this year it feels like there will be a big focus on Sweden, nature and camping.

The inflatable tent sounded handy, as long as you don't have to inflate it "manually" 😉.
"Don't travel with us"... Yes, it's a different world we live in now. Here the message is "Don't come here at Easter", which is also strange coming from a tourist resort...
Have a great start to Easter week!

The "don't travel with us" thing pissed me off when SL said that about a year ago. They were the "first" to not adapt anything to facilitate travelling. It took more than six months before they installed "acrylic cages" around drivers' seats. Sigh! And now Waxholmsbolaget is following in SL's footsteps... Don't remember if they said the same thing last year... Would surprise me though.

Interesting that Halland is becoming so popular. Was not so far from me when I lived in Sweden and had several friends and acquaintances there, so have been there quite a lot, but not everywhere.
Working life museums seem fun. I like these "everyday museums".
Take care!
