Next on Roadtrip 2013: Strömstad

So after a night at the Rastplats Dynekilen it was time to visit the town Strömstad.

Here are som pictures taken.

Found an parkinglot where I could park the Kia car for a couple of hours. I then took the bicycle for sightseeing. Best way to explore is by bike.

A boat next to your balcony?

This is the "cold bath place" in Strömstad. Kallbadhus in swedish.

The smallboat harbour of Strömstad.

Nice area, a bit from town.

Quality Spa & Resort Strömstad, looked expensive. To expensive for my simple soul I guess.

Instead of roads, there are channels, waterchannel

These two folks don't look to happy to be in the picture, hahah.

Spa & Resort towards the water.

Free toilets in the middle of town. That´s always a good sign

Found a RV-parking lot, but it was not free.

Another parking lot that was not free. Not to many people parking here. Everything cost in Strömstad. It is a nice town, but not that tourist friendly.

Lots of manets (jellyfish) in the water. Brown burning bastards! But I have never been burned by one, only heard it hurts.

A cosily area. See right picture of bridgepicture.

Here you see the area that are on the left picture.

My trustworthy old Miyata MTB never lets me down.

I could live like this.. but to many jellyfish in the water.

A moving bridge. I think you needed a buscard for this?

Read the sign your self.

Another parking lot where you could not camp. There are too many signs of this.

Sweden, and north of Strömstad with a bicycle in front..

Use your imagination.

The spa from a distant, right next to the small harbour.

Very flashy place a few kilometers from town.

 Well thats it for pictures from Strömstad.

How to set up Car curtains (AGAIN), final solution

So finally I think I have found a solution. YES!

Here are lots of pictures of my latest tryouts. I think this pictures only are of interest if you want ideas for car curtains. I have tried lots of solution and I think this is the final solution. The final solution is up to you to diagnose :)

Final solution: Ikea Kvartal curtain holder using Ikea Krokig holding the fleece curtain. Attaching on the "overside" of the curtain holder gives no gap.  The Kvartal is 140 cm long and therefore covers the side windows. The curtain will be black. I have already bought some radical black stealth fleece fabric.

Bungeecord in front window. Easy to detach.

Trying out bungeecords, and where to attach them.

Using the grip handles was not optimal.

Does it look funny? Look again.. :)

Hmm. to bungeecord in one?

Dont know what this picture is telling.. but never mind..

Can you see in? No. Stealth?? Nahhh. =)

Sidewindow in a Toyota Starlet. I bit to much gap in the top.

The right one I borrowed from my job. But came up with anoter solution in the end. Se final solution.

The curtains will be black on the roadtrip.

Yellow greenish is what is the fashion right now in Paris . #followingtrends

More places to put bungees?

Gapmania..

On the right path? Yes I think so!

This was bough on Ikea. Kvartal curtain holder. Now for car use.

Trying out, holding the curtain holder in place.

This is how I will attach the curtain holder in the car. Using grabhandles and some nylon wire.

Had to drill some bigger holes to get the "holders" in place.

Lookie lookie..

Testing and haning a big cloth in the rear using bungeecord.

Looks like I like to climb mountains or something.. Rope master.

Softish windsurfingstyle? Front window solution. Attacing bungeecord to the sun shades and then be happy with that!

Could this work.. naahhh. Yeah!!

Using every fabric I could fine.. Testing testing.

Over and out. So long for now.
