Bike carrier on a Volkswagen Golf

If you don´t have a hitch on your car.. For me bringing a bike with you on your road trip is a detail enhancing the trip, since biking is one of the simplest way of checking for nice spots. I love bicycling.

Just say this variant. Seems to work despite the small wing on the trunk . Volkswagen Golf Combi

More of a closeup..

Checking out Ekerö a little

Out scouting looking for nice spaces.. Trying to find some nice sleeping places. Didnt really find any.. The search continues.

Going over the brige to Ekerö

Ekerö Sommarland sounded like a nice place. Summer Country.

I was really treated like a suspect. Neighborhood watch I guess. Did not feel welcomed you might say..

Only able to park for a couple of hours, otherwise nice.

Didnt really find any soft spot.. The search continues.. :-)

Goal Zero Yeti 400, power option

I saw this Goal Zero product when checking vanlife videos on Youtube. Though it was pretty handy, converter and battery and a display showing input and output. Not bad. Pretty expensive though..

It has a AGM battery of 12 V 33 A.


Main advantage is the easyness I guess. You get like "all in one", But I guess you need contacts for your solarpanel and so on. (To be able to use it as charger)

Old Volkswagens when Aircoolers had a meeting.

Hi!

I´m not on the road but in an appartment when writing this. Anyway.. The association "VW Aircoolers"  had a meeting in the town (Lögarängen) where I live. I decided to go check them out, hoping for some nice VW T3, but no.. To bad.. No such one in the meeting.
Nevertheless.. Here are som pictures.

On the road in a Kia Sedona / Carnival (video)

Found a new Youtubechannel! Great tips for us who likes being on the roads. This is a nice simple build using a Kia Sedona 2008, known as Carnival here in Sweden.

Nice Helinox chair, and Ryobi gets good reviews also.

Toilet for the road?

Here´s the solution, hahah.

No, acctually, I have never poped like this when I´ve been on the road. Here in Sweden, there are always toilet here and there, you just have to keep your eyes open.

Found the picture on FB. Dont know the source unfortunatly.

It´s harder when your out sailing.. I´ve had to do number 2 in the nature then..(no toilet onboard) (if you must know) :)

Roadtrip 2014: Going home again

Time to hit the road again. Why, cause I was tempted to be on my favorite training camp, starting 18, so I decided to go home again. Had only about 150 kilometers to go. And also my body was aching to be trained after being in a car doing the roadtrip. The seats in the Toyota are not as good as in a Volvo.

Going back to Vaxholm with the carferry Rindö-Vaxholm, yes again. Yes, I do like to go on ferry. You called me.

I had to do take a detour past the toll devices (road fees), so there were some more miles to drive, but here I think I´m on the right track after some wrong turns..

A truck has broken down by the side. I´m still glad I´m in my Toyota who wont let me down. (I think). :-)

By now I´ve been driving many hour every day and my knee started hurting, so I had to handle the gas throttle with my left leg. :-)

Look! A Nice Old volkswagen T2. These cars have huge charm. But the quality leavas a lot to be wish (I think). Yes, I´ve read lots of VW-forum about issues. Because they are old. With new motor it becomes more reliable. There a lots of options, atleast for the newer model T3.

Nice sidewindows also. Really well maintained.

Well that´s about it for now. We will see when the next roadtrip will be.

Bye, bye! Take care on the roads, Cee Ya! :-)

Roadtrip 2014: Early morning enjoying Stockholm archipelago

Rindö again. This morning were just perfect. Sweden at it´s best. Then sun was warm and lovely, the views great and the solitude available.. Love it! And a perfect example when Less is More. :-)

Extremely good weather, warmth and a some beatiful scenery to see. This is the best moments in life. To remember during winter.

What can you say? Wonderful? The bridge looks a bit unsteady though.

Getting more D-vitamins is something my body likes. I feel so good in sun and warmth!

Overloaded on the road... :)
