Sweden - Trosa

Helen and I immediately felt at home when we crossed into Sweden. Well over 50% of the cars were Volvos – very popular and none of the one eyed outlook we have experienced in Australia. We did see one Volvo with a sticker of a Volvo man peeing on the words Audi but that is different.

We camped at Trosa which is about one hour South of Stockholm on an island. A boaters paradise with a constant parade of boats passing by. We subsequently found this is part of the Gottenburg to Stockholm (Gota) canal system. Here is the evening view from our site.
Having sent Sue and Martin off, our first job was to clean the van – not because of the mess our visitors had made but because the Helen’s sister Jo was about to join us and again we would be subject to an inspection. Having had 2 lonely nights on our own we picked up Jo from Stockholm airport.

Trosa is an attractive little village.
With a small canal through the centre.
The girls enjoyed the location.
Trosa also had a golf course which although only 6 years old was both mature and challenging. No photos as the focus was on golf. Suffice to say I lost 6 balls – but the lunch was good!

And a reminder of the view from the site – this time at sunrise…..
