With Norway in the rear-view mirror, we headed ever forward toward Gothenburg, Sweden’s 2nd largest city. It was only a 3 or 4 hour drive, which in comparison to our weekend driving extravaganzas, felt more like only a trip down to the local grocery store, or in this case, maybe the nearest IKEA.
Gothenburg is positioned on the western coast of Sweden, and as we all know, the west coast is always the best coast (sorry, California reference). If you would take a look on a map, you’d see that this coast line is peppered by archipelago. About halfway through our drive, we decided to head toward the water and see what this was all about.
We followed a mixture of google maps and intuition and ended up on a small island which proved to be full of two things: Berries, nice – and ticks, not so nice. We picked both of them, each getting its own kind of “squish”. In the end, our hands were stained, but don’t worry, it’s from the berries.
