Summer in south eastern Sweden - part 1

Summer road tripping - part 1 :-)

So over a gorgeous week weatherwise in August we went on a lovely road trip around south eastern Sweden. We first stopped at Brösarp and went for a lovely walk through the rolling green hills before driving on to Kivik for lunch.

Lunch in Kivik was amazing! Spectacular herring eaten right on the waters edge with blue sky and sun. After rolling out of the restaurant we continued our road trip towards the Kivik musteri.

Classic Swedish dish - Herring, mashed potatoes, lingon and pickled gherkins

At the Kivik musteri (http://www.kiviksmusteri.se/sv/) there were apple orchards galore and many apple related items were purchased.  Tasty, so very very tasty :-)

trees were tall and thin and branches loaded with apples

Next stop was Simrishamn for a lovely fika and picking up supplies for dinner since we were staying at a hostel. I was so happy I found some tack in Sweden, the 'Happy Prawn' a rundown seafood restaurant on a boat

translates to 'Happy prawn'

We ended this day in Backåkra in a hostel across the road from Dag Hammarskjöld's farm. We went for a lovely walk through the farm, making sure we said hi to all of the cows to a beach. A white sandy beach. It was magic to watch a summer storm roll towards us :-)
