Last year, we (me, Peter, Billie and Billie's cousin Pontus) took a trip to northern Sweden with the camper van, and I promised I would show some pictures. In fact, it was really cold in northern Sweden last summer. Fortunately, we found some things to do anyway...

Our Morocco trip is now featured in a report in ATV & Terrängmagazinet. The focus is on the tour we did with quad bikes (which was really cool!), but the magazine has also included a travel story and lots of pictures, on two full pages. Very funny!

Now we have tried quad biking in Morocco. We booked a quad bike tour yesterday and got to go to Palmerie, an area just outside Marrakech. We booked the tour on site in Marrakech, in one of all the small shops that sell excursions, and were picked up by car at the square when it was time. It was a really cool tour with a lot going on!

We love adventure, but some adventures are best experienced in book form. Climbing K2 is such an adventure. In 'K2 on life and death', Fredrik Sträng describes the 2008 expedition to K2, when eleven climbers lost their lives. You do wonder why they put themselves through this, but it is also fascinating to follow them up the mountain.

Today, Kenya has voted in favour of a new constitution, and according to DN, the election went smoothly. Things were different in 2007/2008, when 1,300 people were killed in violence between different ethnic groups. We were going on holiday and had bought a plane ticket to Nairobi.

Now we have settled in here at Pite Havsbad. We are nicely situated with our motorhome at the campsite and have had time to learn a little more about this place. Here are some interesting facts for you who might also want to visit Pite Havsbad!

Today we have done rafting in the river Vindelälven. The organisers are called Forsknäckarna and the trip started from Ekorrsele, between Umeå and Lycksele. The uppermost rapids were level 4 (levels 1-6, where 6 counts as harmless with danger to life). The highest waves were about 3 metres high. A real adrenaline rush!
We had booked a rafting trip in the Vindelälven river at noon, but when we arrived at Forsknäckarna in Ekorrsele, between Lycksele and Umeå, there had been a misunderstanding and the boats were full. We were offered our own tour at 16.00, and in the meantime we got, at no extra cost, both food and a high-altitude course. A fair deal we thought!
Yesterday it was time for horse riding in Idre. I have ridden a lot when I was younger, and think that riding is a fantastic way to experience nature. Peter and Billie have ridden a bit and Pontus once, but all three were positive about today's adventure! We got nice horses and got to follow the guide Mia on a wonderful trip in the forest and on the mountain.

Last night it was time for a beaver safari in a canoe. A guide took us and a group of Dutch people to Grövelsjön. It was a bit warmer coming down from the mountain and beautiful and calm on the lake, so we had a really nice canoe trip. This is a great thing to do for a whole family, when everyone can get involved together and have some excitement about seeing some cool beavers.
