Today was Sweden National Day and Linda, Jonas, Rikard and I celebrated this by enjoying really good swedish stuff: nature, smoked fish and Ales stenar (Ale's Stones). We started out early
this morning to Österlen, on the east coast, where we had booked two Go-Devils to ride the railway between St Olof and Gärsnäs. We rode through forest and meadows and fields and felt the pleasures of being out doors. It wasn't sunny, even chilly at times, but lovely all the same. There were corn flowers and poppies along the way, as well as funny cows and Babi-like calves. We had coffee and sweet cakes by a lake, and Rikard even went for a quick dip (brrrr...). This is something I can easily see myself doing again. It wasn't too hard, even if up hill was a bit excerting, and it was lovely not having to think of where to go (just one way really - forwards!) and us eing alone on the tracks. (I only had my mobile phone camera - so no good pics, but a soon as I can I'll link to Linda's and Jonas'.)
After our railway adventure we went to Kåseberga (further south). By now the sun the man and the sky blue (with light clouds). We bought some smoked fish and went up to Ales stenar and sat right at the edge of the cliff, looking out over the sea, and had a pick nick. Pasta sallad, baguette and cheese, fish and grapes and chocolate. Just woinderful. We stayed there for quite a while just enjoying our food and the day. Now home I'm very tired but feeling great and I have some new freckles over the bridge of my nose. Perfect!
