Friday 6th August - Trosa, Sweden
Happy Birthday Isabella Grace Smith (5th August)
Hei hei - back in Sweden. Norway is stunning but we were beginning to suffer from soul rot with all the rain so we've come back to Sweden where the scenery isn't so magnificent but we can afford to buy chocolate.
We've had a couple of days in Stockholm. Last time I was there it was December, freezing but beautiful. In the Cathedral there was a children's choir practising for the Festival of Light next to a fantastic candle-lit statue of St George and the Dragon - magical. Not so magical in the summer but still a lovely city to wander round.
Came out to a beach site yesterday and had my first swim in the Baltic, but true to our luck its raining again today. Never mind, the washing machine is cheap here so making use of being stuck in camp. reckon I could operate any machine in the world now (maybe not a skill to boast about but very useful!) The machine here has instructions in English which saved me from using programme 1 "carpetwash" and sign posted me to programme 4 "woll". Just have to find enough places to drape them in the van now. We've got used to watching TV through the Octopus of Wet Underwear.
