Our trip to Skåne - day 1

- Do you speak english?

- Nej. Geofehfogh. Depfhembolf fheofgow?


All of a sudden, without any warning, I needed Swedish. I have to say it would have been easy if I had known this before I dialed the number. Anyway, I tried to speak swedishish and (this is the suprising part) managed to book a room for two nights. If you want to experience the need for swedish, just dial +46 40-41 41 94. A kind old man will be happy to hear from you.

After I booked accomodation for två nights and fem persons, everything is ready for launch. Saturday morning, I pack my bags (a light and sugarfree version of my kiruna bags) and leave to Helmutsrogatan, where the taxi is waiting. Walter is our taxi driver, and he's also going to Malmö, what is kind of convenient. Thanks Walter :-).


First stop is Morups Tånge, a nature reserve at the westcoast of Sweden, south of Göteborg. A really nice place to walk. And sit, or lie down. Sea, birds, swamps (no ogres), grass, and nature of course.


Second stop, after a nice drive along the coastline, is Danska fall. A 36 meter high waterfall in a forest with threes. After 1,2 km walking, we find the waterfall. Nice of course. But maybe not so spectacular as I expected. 36 meter long, I think. Since we are adventure-minded and only a bit afraid of the big bad wolf, we leave the marked track and go off road, straight into the wilderness of Skåne. We were lost. Pathfinder Jan searched for the perfect road out, without success. After we analyzed the star constellations and the exact position of the sun, we unanimously decided to return the same way, through the Swedish wilderness, passing the aggressive ant again.


Where to go now? Let's go straight to Lomma camping. Two hours later, we arrive at the camping site. After a short non-verbal conversation, we find our new home. Cottage 14, Middle of Nowhere, Sweden. It looks nice and cosy. And very cheap. Luckily for us, the middle of nowhere is a really beautiful place. At a lake, near the sea. Very nice views.
And a beautiful sunset ...
