Yesterday after lunch I went with Errol and Anne Kari (3rd host parents) to Sweden. They have a summer vacation house on the West Coast and they had to check it over before they go to Australia.
It was a really nice trip. We took a coastal route there. There are all these really nice towns that used to be old fishing villages. They are nearly deserted in Winter but people flock to them in Summer. They were really cute. We also passed all these different kinds of churches. They were quite nice.
We had lunch at this place right on the water in Smogen. It was a nice little cafe with a lovely view. I had an open prawn sandwich. It tasted pretty good, although the prawns were a little too salty. We stopped at a cute little bakery on the way to the house. It was in the middle of nothing but sold these really nice cinnamon buns.
The house is in a really nice spot just near the water. It was a good trip. I have now found out that Sweden has a lot of wind power. There were heaps of wind turbines. When we got further south the area had a lot of rocky areas. It looked nice because there was red granite throughout the rock. We also passed heaps of frozen areas.
After having prawns for lunch, I had prawns for tea too!:)

And don't let the blue sky and sun deceive you, there was a really cold wind!
