Baltic Coast

We left Jonkoping at about 1.00pm and headed for the Island of Oland on the E31. after about 90 minutes we stopped at a lakeside picnic area and George & I fished the lake with spinners while James dug out as many stones from he bank as he could! We headed on and passed over the bridge to Oland at Kalmar at about 4.40pm. The first site we found at Morbylanga was a real Morbyminga and the owners asked us to pay in advance which is very unusual...We headed on around into the site and soon realised our mistake as although on the cost it was shabby and looked over a freight yard and resembled unused football pitches. WE decided to leave and asked the old Swede for our 240 Krona, he hesitated before saying that the cash was in the till and had therefore been transferred to the bank already! He simply would not budge even though we had been there for 5 minutes only. I decided to call in the big guns and soon Sue was leaning over the counter threatening police and trying to open the till! She headed off to find a Swede that could talk English and in the end the Crazy old guy handed her £200 Krona and we left. Later I reminded her we paid 240 but that £5 well spent as we ended at at Camping Haga Park 5 miles up the island which was really very nice and we spent two very relaxing nights there fishing and wading in the calm Baltic and giving the Van' a well needed clean up.

Today we left and headed south down the E22 to Karlskrona a town situated on several island bridge linked off the south coast. Camping Dragso is four star and has wonderful views at sunset and is situated on it own island. The boys have been on the beach, Sue has run around the site -twice, and I am sitting on a patio Bar sipping Tuborg Gold 5.3% while watching the sun go down and tying this. Probably stay here three nights then head along the coast to Ahus where we will meet Alan for a day or two. Plan after that is Copenhagen, Legoland then quick dash to Bavaria :-)
