Sweden

My boyfriend and I currently live in Sweden and for 7 days this summer we decided to head off on an adventure driving and camping along the south coast of Sweden. I have a trusty Rough Guide book of Sweden which has been like a bible whilst living here, as I am constantly referring to it. Before we left for our trip I had a read through to check which places we should visit along the way, but other than that we had no idea of where we would be going and what we would see….

First of all I can say they are NOT the land of sin but I agree they have a more liberal point of view for sex.

What do most people think about, when they hear Sweden? Probably Stockholm, Gothenburg, for sure beautiful women and men. however, there's also another side to sweden, off the beaten track, so to speak. Take Leksand on Lake Siljan, which is for sure one of the nicest lakes in sweden. All around the lake you can find idyllic small villages that offer an unique view over the lake. Across the lake from Leksand, you will find Mora. probably not too many have yet heard about Mora, but most of you probably know the famous Vasa Löpet, a 90-sth. km cross country ski race. and in Mora the finish line can be found, along with an interesting museum related to the history ...  Read the complete review
