Monday 3rd August 2026

We travelled south to Vasteras, then south west to Orebro and finally south to just outside of Motala where we stopped for the day at this wooded parking area.

The vegetation is very lush around the car park. Here's looking out of our side door.

Looking uphill from our van.........

......and downhill towards the huge lake Vattern.

There is an interpretive sign here.

We set off to visit the lake.

The track to the lake is only for pedestrians and cyclists. No cars allowed. You go through a tunnel under the maotorway and then a tunnel under the railway.

Quite steep going down to the lake shore.

There's a really nice beach here.

There's a jetty for diving off.

There's no way Ann could have got here without her mobility scooter. It was defininately a good buy.

Ann went for a ride around the beach area while I sat on a bench.

What a jolly couple of old persons!

We returned through the tunnels to our parking place.

Today we travelled 155 miles (250 kilometres). We are at: N58.51523 E15.01845
