Roadtrip 2014: Taking a morning bath, Solsidan

Slept very well in the parking lot next to the sea. (East of the capital Stockholm in the archipelago).

This is where I´m located right now. Solsidan.

The weather was as good as it can be, and of course I felt like take a bath, checking the water, dept and so on.
I use two cameras when taking pictures. Nokia N8 (mobile phone), and a Canon 550d

Nokia N8 pictures:

Camera, Shoes and shower-gel and so on.

I´ve jumped into the water. There wasn't any ladder to get out of the water, but there were no problems getting up on the bridge.

Time to get clean. Selfie

Canon 550 pictures

This is how I slept in the car this night. Waking up somewhat in the shadows and not waking up feeling like baked in an owen. Love this!

Towel. Yes I know, I´ve already taken a picture of this.. duh.

Enjoying the Swedish summer when it at its best.

View from the bridge, Solsidan houses.

The bridge I´m on, the car behind the shrub.

Soaking in shower gel.

And after soaping washing it off.

The sea was flat and wonderful, quite clear water also. This is the same water as the Baltic Sea

It felt great to take a bath, nice and clean again.

To be continued.

Roadtrip 2014: Staying in the shade (Solsidan)

When the weather is hot you have to try to stay in the shadows. The color of my car is white and that is the best color to try to keep cool. A black car is much warmer because the color "sucks" (in lack of science talk) up the sun beam much more and therefore becomes warmer.

This is what I do.

I always try to find a nice spot in the shade when the summer sun i out warming everything.

Here I've really found I nice spot for the night, a parking-lot with wonderful scenery. I stayed here for a couple of hours waiting for the sun to go down.

Then I moved to the actual parking lot. Covering the windows with some towels to block the sun rays from entering into the car.

Keeping one door open and down wind the other side window to keep fresh air circulating the car. I feel really nice temperature in the car now.

Later I took a walk to explore the scenery i bit more.

Before bedtime I watch a movie from Shadiac. "I am". Using my small converter giving me 230 AC power in the car. Before sleeping I remove the towels and put up my inside curtain. I also enjoyed a Pizza. :-)

This picture is taken in the morning. I slept beautifully. Didn't get bother by anything during the night. Perfect. And what a morning to wake up to! I parked so that i wasn't gonna get the morning sun right up my alley. During the night there is some fog accumulating in the front windows. But no biggie.
