Sweden Part 2

The Spooky house

The Spooky house

Well we road-tripped around the country a bit and ended up hours into the middle of nowhere, then 30 minutes off road (luckily Volvo had loaned us 3 brand new v70’s..) and finished up lakeside (one of the 96,000 lakes in Sweden) at an old wooden house, no water, electricity or toilet – back to life as it should be! This house and its surrounds actually used to be its own Principality about 100 years ago and something tells me some very strange goings on, went on.. The big freaky murals of wizards and the 100 wooden statues around the surrounding forest lead me to the conclusion.. I think that perhaps a little too many exotic substances may have influenced the people that lived here too.

Nevertheless, this was probably one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. We were surrounded by water, the sun rose at 3 in the morning, we had to chop wood to be able to cook, and we ate by a camp fire every night. Good time, goood times..

Not bad for a private lake.
