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!

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.

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.

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 :)
