reflection of the week
When we read about all the sustainable experiences in Sweden, we realised that we still have a lot to discover, such as oyster safaris, northern lights and rafting trips. Have you been on these experiences?

We certainly have an incredible number of sustainable experiences in Sweden. We started a lobster safari last autumn, but unfortunately had to realise that the price was a deterrent....
Many like hiking and the Northern Lights are such awesome nature experiences that we understand attract many people to our country.

Ah, I see! The price level is quite high in Sweden, so when it comes to such experiences, you often think twice, even if it seems nice. However, hiking is affordable and sometimes even the northern lights, if you are in the right place 😉.

The Northern Lights are on our bucket list too👍.
Nice to see about the campsites. There were several we have been to.
Anna and Ola took over Falsterbo camping when we lived there. We may not have the same taste in campsites but for families with children they are great! Walking distance to the sea. Skanör as a neighbour. Nice!
Kronocamping in Lidköping Very good campsite for those who want both Lake Vänern at the campsite and the city within walking distance.
Mötesplats Borstahusen wonderful view of the sea! For those who play golf, it is right next door and has been voted as the best golf course, some year I do not remember. Cosy walk into Borstahusen.
But we like it better here...where we can sit and smell all the pine trees...🤪!
No longing for the sea..too!

Abroad, some people think that you automatically see the northern lights because you live in Sweden, but that's not really the case ... Glad you visited several of the campsites! Have not been to camping Borstahusen, but we have been in Borstahusen, so understand that the location is nice!

Had a good laugh about Hammarbybacken offering skiing during the summer. Hahaha! Kind of like Dubai all year round then - but there you are indoors and you may want to cool down when the thermometer rises above 40 degrees. It will be interesting to hear if the project is a success.
The Northern Lights were also visible in Stockholm just a few weeks ago...
