Left camp and drove into Karlstadt, where we went to the Naturum Varmland. We found a brilliant bird walk, with nesting sea gulls, geese, ducks and several bird hides, so peaceful.

Drove to Orebro and camped in the street outside David and Maria's house, when we had last been in the snow in February . Lovely pizza dinner out with his family visiting from Aus.

Next day, delivered the Boomer to their friends Tim and Susie, who were to babysit our "home" for 2 weeks. David drove us to the station where we got train to Arlanda and flew via Heathrow to Newcastle. Hire car to the cottage in Northumbria for 2 weeks with my sister Theresa and brother in law David (who arrived Monday after scaling several more Monroes (mountains) in Scotland the previous week.

Lovely to have endless hot water in the shower and a bedroom to spread all our gear around in.
