On the way to the North

Listen to little birdie's station

On the way up to Northern Sweden, after the Högakustenbron it was still wonderful. We were lucky to drive in bright sunshine - well, maybe not the drivers, but I could enjoy the fantastic landscape.

A couple of random pictures of the typical scenes you can see when you drive along the Eastern coast line in Sweden: lots of, lots of woods, lakes and fields.

Högakustenbron, Sweden

Listen to little birdie's station

Continuing our trip we had a quick stop at the High Coast where there is a huge bridge, the Högakustenbron.

You find a great restaurant there and everything you need to take a rest when you are on the road.
This time we just bought some water, ice cream and such.

Early in the morning

Listen to little birdie's station

As I said here, on Wednesday we went on a trip to Finland, up North, just to the Swedish-Finnish border. To the same place and on the same route as last July.

Left at 3 o'clock in the morning, after about 40 minutes sleep...

But I couldn't fall asleep for a good while, because I didn't want to miss the wonderful sunrise... and it was anyway fun in the minibus, with ll those boys: my husband and his 3 brothers, one son and my father-in-law. Had some great blues and rock music

Just outside of Stockholm:
