Finally I was back on track. The sun was shining, and I was heading for the island Ängsö, a nature reserve about 20-30 km from Västerås (where I live). I like to be close to home first night, incase I´ve forgotten something important.
One of the first thing you need to consider for a happy roadtrip is temperature. For a roadtrip to be succeed I think the weather is (very) important. No moisture and cold and you sleep well in the car... and everything stays dry and nice. Rain is really bad news, at least when on a vacation and you feel your time is limited before you have to go back to work. If it gets to cold in the night you wake up freezing, and you need to put on some more blankets and so on. I prefer an even temperature, not so easy in a car without any extra isolation.

| Evening and everything was finally packed into the car. Heading for a nice sleepover in the car. The weather was perfect! |

| Roadsign: Welcome to the nature reserve Ängsö. A lovely place where you often can find peace and quietness. |
|
 |
| Scouting for toilets is always necessary, nice to know where they are in case you need to do number 2. |

| Here you can see the Ängsö castle in the background and some roadsigns. Långholms brygga is a place where I´ve slept before. Heading for that place! |

| Parkinglot at Långholms brygga. Parked the car a bit away from the other, do like it peaceful and quiet. |

| Went out the the pier.. |
|
 |
| Fantastic views from the pier. |
|
 |
| There are some nice walking trail you can go from this place. This time I didn't really feel I had the time, prefer to do it in the mornings or when the sun is shining. |

Last time I slept in this place I got very disturbed by some adolescents, arriving in the middle of the night with a couple of cars. Making a lot of noise, drinking and lighting a fire. I don't know why, but I always run into this kind of kids that think life is about making sounds. Lets just say that my ego has had enough of them..
 |
| Even though this place has toilets I had to much memories from the adolescents last time, so decided to try to find another place for the night. |
More in the next post.
