the Österlen tour - now a tradition!

For the second year in a row - and definitely already a tradition, I'm completely hooked and "Summer in Sweden" is no longer complete without an Österlen tour.

 With great friends Wayra and Luna (and Wayra's mum Ulrika and Luna's dad Magnus, outside picture frame)

Beautiful Haväng beach. But it is the east coast - meaning water is just freeeeezing cold, no one dared dipping more than a toe.

Just as last year, we got lost both in space and time at Karrossgården in Gladsax. Hana bought a heart shaped porcelain jewelry box and Kai a pocket knife. 20 kronor each. What a place.

Our tent spot. Not too bad either.

 Nice views...

... and in the late evening when the wild horses came down to our little pond, just as a lonely swan decided to float by, it got almost too idyllic.

 The famous light.

 Barbie and her prince had fun, too. Just as Hana and Wayra.

We also had time for a visit to Mandelmans... 

... and a stroll in the forest, and actually a climb all the way to the top of Stenshuvud National Park.

And then we had pizza at Tångdala Lönnkrog, a strange and hard-to-find place (as name indicates) that started off as an art project, about freedom and marginality. Pizza was so good. Place is lovely.

Be back next year!
