On the road to the North, 2





On day 2 we visited Carl Larsson's house, one of my favourite things in Sweden, so wonderful. We drove on along the shore of lake Siljan, which is famous enough for its blue color to have, well, a color named after it. Lunch was in Rättvik on a really long jetty that went far into the lake. It was the food we would consume 95% of the time. Bread, creme cheese & sliced cheese, topped with dried tomatos. Bread, creme cheese & orange jam for dessert. Oh yeah, and then we got ourselves cinnamon buns for second dessert. I took a photograph of the hill on one side of the lake and after a while, a house there catched fire. I was so excited that the picture I took of it came out all blurry.








We loved this part of the trip. We drove all the way to Östersund through magnificent landscape. The photographs are taken late in the evening, the sunshine felt unreal.




Our place for the night! Storsjön, a little south of Östersund. Definitely the coldest water I ever had a bath in, and that means something. This was also the darkest it ever got.
