This week we've been doing all sorts of travel preparations - both for possible trips abroad and for an upcoming motorhome trip. Happy Friday!

Visit of the sons in the houseboat
Last weekend Peter's two sons came to visit, Robin with his wife Alexandra and Billie with his miniature poodle Nora. So fantastically nice!
We went for a simple "do it yourself" starter with small rye crisps with a choice of filling of Skagenröra, chevre cream or blue cheese cream. Yummy! Then it was beef fillet.
New design in the webshop - and new products
We have tinkered with the design of the online shop during the week. We have received many products with a motorhome and caravan theme, so it felt natural to highlight both "For the motorhome" and "For the caravan" as separate categories in the shop.
We also chose to highlight "Marine theme" as a separate category, as our products with Swedish lighthouses, compass roses and anchors are among the most popular products in the shop. Hope you like the new layout!
We also have new products in the shop! Now we have small light lanterns motorhome and caravan lanterns in silicone. The lanterns are suitable for tea lights (large or small) and are sold in a two-pack for SEK 149.
By the way, did you know that we have a low price guarantee on our motorhome/caravan products? In the unlikely event that you find a lower price somewhere else, we offer you the same low price here!
Travel preparations: New passport and syringe number 2
This week we have fixed two things that may be useful for future travelling. Peter needed a new passport and it turned out to be really hard to find an appointment in Stockholm County. We had to check the booking site incessantly and in the end we found a cancellation with the police in Södertälje. Then we had to be quick on the booking button!
I (Helena) have instead made sure to finally get vaccine shot number 2. Besides the fact that it feels safe and good in every way, we noticed when we travelled to Bulgaria that it was very easy to travel as fully vaccinated!
New campervan trip - this time to the West Coast
We will soon be travelling with the motorhome again, and it will be great fun! This time we are aiming for the west coast of Sweden. We plan to start almost at the far south, and then follow the coastal strip northwards towards Norway... Feel free to shower us with tips!
Best this week
The best thing about this week is that it's still summer - but a little cooler. Because it's not so hot, we manage to keep up with jogging and other exercise, and that feels good! How has your week been? What can you highlight as positive?
The week ahead
We still have some great experiences in Bulgaria to tell you about. Then it's time to roll with the motorhome, and of course you'll get to "come along" along the west coast!

Thank you very much! It will be fun, we haven't travelled much on the West Coast.

Lovely with such a nice visit and that you are soon on the roll again! Congratulations on both the pass and the second sting 🙂.
By the way, I think it's really stupid that nowadays passports are only valid for 5 years, or really only 4.5, because some countries - for some unfathomable reason - require the passport to be valid six months after the date of departure from the country...
This week we have not done many knots in the heat. Mostly walked and met friends, but that's not bad either 🙂.

Yes, it will only be 4.5 years, I agree. It was just like that with Peter's passport right now, we want that 6-month deadline. Wishing you a nice weekend!

What a nice date at home!
I'm glad you've got the practicalities sorted with passports and vaccinations.
. Will be so much easier then. Nice with a new trip and the West Coast is always nice. I am very fond of Bohuslän and getting far out there to different islands. I like Marstrand but mostly outside the high season. Fjällbacka is another favourite and not least the Koster Islands outside Strömstad. But I can imagine that there are still many "tourists" out there.
The best things this week include meeting up with friends and now being out at Djurönäset on a "home holiday".
Wishing you a great trip.

Hello,
If you want to start at the bottom of the west coast, Solhejdan's naturist campsite in northern Skanör is a good start, with a wood-fired sauna, heated pool and an incredibly nice barbecue area with sunset in the sea. Then you do not need to wear clothes if it is warm and sunny.
We live here all season.

It's good that you've divided up the online shop in this way. Clear and good! Great fun with Peter's boys who came to visit. How nice the guys look. Have also just acquired a new passport and are just as dissatisfied with the passport image as usual;-)
The west coast - apart from the weather - is always nice. It is completely different from the east coast, so to speak.

We have a fondness for Bohuslän. If we were to recommend something, it would be Hållö outside Kungshamn. In September, the boats probably only run on Saturdays. Then it is wonderful to hike on Ramsvikslandet. Islands such as Gullholmen off Orust or Kärringön are also nice. We have often thought about visiting the Väderöarna, but so far it has not become a reality. A super test you will surely get!

A super trip is of course what you get and nothing else!!! 🤪.

Cozy with a visit from the "kids"!
The best thing last week was our Göta Canal road trip. Very intense, but also interesting.
