It seems to be a conspiracy, but when we travel to Europe in July to escape the Tasmanian winter, we get hit with a heatwave. It happened in Croatia last year and now its happening in Scandinavia.
Ideas for making the most of a wonderful life.

We arrived in Sundsvall late on Sunday night. Our hotel was about 900m from the station, but by the time we arrived, shops were shutting and dinner was off. We dumped our bags and headed off for a short walk to seek out lactose free milk and something to eat.
Stockholm is a city designed for walking, and we did. The weather was warm, perhaps a little too much, but the people watching was worth it. It was busier than had been our experience of other Swedish cities. There was a momentum and livliness that befitted a big city.
Noorkoping was beautiful. Imagine an old industrial town, located on a large fast flowing river, with a few small islands in between. An industrial mougal’s dream. They built factories right up to the waters edge.
Today marks the first real day of our adventure around Scandinavia. We started with a walk around the university city of Lund. The weather was comfortable at 18C and the terrain mostly flat. Swedes are very friendly people and offered advice and assistance when we needed. Follow along on our journey.
Today we set off to discover the wonders of Scandinavia. We fly to Copenhagen and quickly board a train to the gateway town of Lund to recuperate from our fights and plan our next moves. Follow along on our adventure.
