Åhus and Äspet Naturreservat is a nice place, next stop

I have always heard good stuff of Åhus, especially from windsurfers. So it was time to visit. The GPS in the phone took me thru a shooting field! But I dont think anyone was shooting..

Nice city, but unfortunattly the weather was not that good.

One of the beaches, this is north of Åhus

A bit closer to the city.

Äspet nature reserve, a really nice place! Me like!



Åhus Beachhandboll (Beachhandball??) Festival



The Absolut Company, they make alcohol if you dont know. Famous for their booze.

The entrance for the Absolut company here in Åhus.

Here is a Ice Cream producer, in Sweden it is called Åhus Glass. Always nice to find companys and to se what it looks like.

Åhus Guest Harbour (gästhamn in Swedish). In the background the Absolut Company can be seen.



The Kia Pride in a parking place in the woods. Nere a shooting field. The Water is beyond the trees.



The reliable car, also known as Mazda 121 and Ford Festiva in some countries. The rain has finally stopped!



Here are Äspets Rökeri, A smoking facility, I think you can buy smoked fish in there :)



This is a very nice place to visit. The Äspet Naturreservat (nature reserve). Unfortunatly it was raining but this place had a nice beach.

My Miyata MTB was nice bicycling around the area of Åhus. Here the baltic sea view.
 
 

The road trip 2012: Västervik archipelago

The second stop was Västervik. A really nice town where you feel welcome. I got at glimps of the Swedish boat constructor Sven Yrvind (Lundin). He was out running, whit a rope as a belt :)

Sven has also written some good books, for example: Konstruktören - En oceanseglares väg

An abandon factory.

Listening to VHF-radio and the weather report.

A trimaran in the background. Looked fast!

Road Trip July 2012: Valdermarsvik and Gryts archipelago

The first stop was to go to Valdemarsvik and check out those areas. The Swedish Famous writer Henning Mankell has a summerhouse here (at least that was what the ad sad =)), I think somewhere nere Gryts archepelago.



This is the map of Valdemarsvik municipality



Ekön beach, Gryts archepelago, Valdermarsvik municipality

The beach was not that good I think. Actully I didnt thinkt the place what that great. I found some free parkingplace (on the day, but not in the night). There is a camping place on the Ekön if you go the furhest out. This is the Ekön beach, quite big stones. I prefer nice sand instead :)
