      Friendly, kind and glutenfree Sweden

      September 5, 2023 in Sweden ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      From the airport we drove to the small town of Nora, which took us about 2 and a half hours. On our way we decided to stop whenever we saw something nice on google maps which was worth checking out. So we went to see a small castle, but the pretty thing about it was actually the lake. The sun was shining. The water was sparkling, to me this was the sweden I had imagined. We also stopped at an ICA Maxi Supermarket and this place, let me tell you, is literally where dreams come true. They have tons of glutenfree products I felt like I had just arrived in paradise. I mean, look at the picture, have you ever seen me this happy;)? We almost emptied half the shelves (just kidding) and went back to our van to finally drive to the small city of Nora. It was already 3 pm so we had a light lunch in our van and then went on a walk. I had seen a coffee place online which looked quite pretty so we walked there. At the café the owners welcomed us warmly and we ordered two cappuccinos. Unfortunately their card machine was broken and we didnt have any cash with us. After trying to make it work for a couple of minutes, they said they would offer us the coffee. We said thank you a thousand times and even offered them swiss francs in case they planned on visiting switzerland one day but they just thanked us and gave us the coffee for free. I stil cant beliebe how kind those people were. We sat down at a table and startet talking to two german people who have been travelling around by hiking from one place to another. Initially they came to sweden by train though. We walked wirh them until the other side of the city and even exchanged phone numbers. Then, Nene and I walked around and went to the „Systembolaget“ the only shops in sweden that sell alcohol. So we bought a bottle of wine and went back to our van. Even though it was already quite late we decided to drive further until the Nationalpark Tiveden. 2 and a half hours and a stunning sunset later we were at the big Vättern lake in the park. It was already quite dark when we arrived at the spot we wanted to stay for the night and since the ground was not even it was rather stressful to park. We did it eventually and went inside the van, where first of all we startet killing hundreds of mosquitos that had come in during our parking trials. We cooked Zuchetti Risotto and opened our wine bottle even though it was already past nine pm. We couldnt see much but we knew our spot was a total jackpot - you‘ll see tomorrow morning:)Read more

      Ausflug nach Nora

      July 31, 2022 in Sweden ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      Nora ist eine gemütliche Stadt mit vielen alten Holzhäuser, Kunsthandwerk und Cafés. Zu erwähnen ist auch noch der Bahnhof mit alter Dampflock und Museum. Und natürlich die Eisdiele. Die ist berühmt seit 1923. Das Eis handgemacht. Es gibt dort Vanille und Haselnusseis. Zusätzlich wird an jedem Tag eine andere Geschmacksrichtung angeboten. Heute war es Apfeleis. Sehr, sehr lecker. Ich habe natürlich alle drei Sorten probiert. Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen, Aliza wackelte hinterher.Read more
