Our Swedish roadtrip!

I am sooooooooooooo excited!!! Today, Oliver lands! Yiipppeeeeeeeeeee! I haven't seen him in four months and I am just over the moon that he is coming to Sweden and I get to show him around! I have quite an awesome itinerary planned with lots to do and see. The next two weeks are going to be incredible!

Tomorrow afternoon we are picking up a car in Göteborg and then on the 17th we are starting a roadtrip. Here is what's planned:

A hike in Söderåsen National Park

Knowing that my Jojo Summer Card was about to run dry I decided to make one last cool summer trip on it to Söderåsen National Park. I expected it to be pretty but no where near as diverse and as beautiful as it actually is.

Bjärred Beach

Bjärred is a little coastal town 10kms from Lund with a nice little beach and some fancy looking houses!

Landskrona...a great place to spend a few hours

Whenever the train stopped at Landskrona when I was on my way up to Helsingborg I peered through the train windows hoping to see a glimmer of why I should visit. But it always looked super quite and uninspiring. However, kitted out with my Jojo Summer card I thought what the heck, let me see if I am wrong.

And man-oh-man was I mistaken. Landskrona is a lovely and it really is an awesome way to spend a few hours!

10 things I wish I knew when arriving in Lund

August is upon us and this means that Lund will soon be flooded with new students! I remember my arrival day, actually my first week, being confusing and looking back there are certain things I wish I knew before getting to Lund or in my first month in Lund.

A cool town: Kristianstad

It's known as the most Danish place in Sweden, which is not surprising considering the town was founded by a Dane in 1614, Christian IV of Denmark.

A spontaneous stop in Höllviken

One of the days last week when the weather was simply beautiful there was no option but to head down to the beach. My plan was to arrive at the central station and take the next bus to whichever beach. It turns out as I got there a bus to Falsterbo Peninsula was about to head out.
I had been there once before and knew that it would be well worth the journey (about an hour and a half just to get there). However, I did not expect the bus to get so full that it would have people lining the walkway. It was packed. It seems everyone had the same idea as me.

I sat in the bus and was grateful that I had a seat next to a window but soon the heat in the bus became too much and I just had to get off! So as soon as I heard the word strand (beach) I climbed off.

A stroll in Dalby Söderskog

Although it was a bit of a pain in the butt to find Dalby Söderskog is a lovely place!

Living right next door to Dalby I realised that I was irritated that I hadn't paid a visit to a national park so close by. So, I packed my bags and headed out to take a hike in the forested region.
