We have visited the Eagle's Nest, or Kehlsteinhaus as the house is actually called in German. This extremely high house was a gift for Adolf Hitler's 50th birthday in 1939. The Eagle's Nest is located in southern Germany (Bavaria) in Berchtesgaden, near Salzburg and the Austrian border.

Sure, Lake Garda is beautiful, but Lago d'Iseo is almost even more beautiful! We drove there in the evening to find a campsite (which there are plenty around the lake), but they were all full! A German laughed and explained that he booked already in February ... We had no choice but to hitchhike. The first night was in a car park, and the second night was incredibly beautiful right on the lake.

Today we visited Berbers in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. We booked a minibus trip from Marrakech with a guide in French, a stop with a Berber family, climbing up to a waterfall and (of course) ten thousand vendors who wanted to sell necklaces, pots, knives, fine stones, herbs, spices ... you name it.

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.
