The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone by me and the first part of the journey by hubby๐ฑ๐ค
The first half of the journeyโฆ about 2 hoursโฆ I will drive ๐ vroom vroomโฆ so the first photos are presented to you by hubby.
He does sneaks in some pictures taken of me driving hahaha ๐คฃ I didnโt noticeโฆ lol
As we left Orebro we see suddenly more and more snow along the roadsides appearing. We are heading still north at this point ๐
We will follow the 68 for a whileโฆ ๐
On the side the snow is piling up and in the fields it makes a white snow blanketโฆ it even covers the little lakes.
We are driving through forests with very tall pine trees and some birches on the right.
It is stunning to see the sky is soooo bright blue. What a contrast with the white around us, don't you think.
We are entering VรSTMANLANDS LรN ~ Lรคn are the different counties of Sweden.
When driving this farโฆ of course we need to get once in a while to a gas station ๐ for new fuel โฝ๏ธ
The ground was very icy โ๏ธ
Diesel it isโฆ this was a self service station.
Rolling hillsโฆ
Here and there we see some farms and typical Swedish houses in red timber.
We are driving towards a little bridge and see on both sides the river / lakes completely frozen ๐ฅถ
Such a pretty sight! ๐
A little pier on the left.
Entering Norberg
We see its church in the middle as we are still driving along the road ๐ฃ๏ธ 68
A statue along the roadโฆ we see it is a large figurine.
We drove so far that we cross i to another county. This time we are entering DALARNAS LรN
A BEAUTIFUL REGION I HAVE VISITED BEFORE.
We decided it is time for some lunch ๐ฅ so we drive into a little town.
This #industrial wheel stands out.
After lunch it is hubbyโs time to drive so I can take photos again and show you the last part of this journey ๐
We see more frozen lakesโฆ i love views like this. Little cabins on the water edge.
Beautiful red houses ๐
Still following the 68 at this point.
I see dark clouds gathering.
Luckily no rain. There is a layer of ice next to the road. The road itself is luckily clear enough to drive ๐
The views are just breathtakingly beautiful ๐คฉ can you imagine the amount of photos I take. Hahaha ๐คฃ I did try to reduce the amount I show for these posts. I did but less then 60 didnโt work hahaha
I still want to tell a storyโฆ
Entering Storvik
I see a water tower and capture its silhouette against the bright blue sky.
Cool bridge ๐ withโฆ
โฆ some #graffiti under neath it.
We continue our journeyโฆ
โฆdriving along the E4 in the direction of SUNDSVALL ๐๐
A cool sign for a stop placeโฆ do you see the little #viking ?
A lake view, I believe not fully frozen.
Lakeside cabins ๐ก
A lcd screen with rolling images.
I seeโฆ.
โฆa saab fighter jet.
Taking a few capturesโฆ
Its silhouette
Big bouldersโฆ snowy boulders along the road ๐ฃ๏ธ
My favourite photo of the day ๐ I love the subtle coloursโฆ the beginning of the sunset ๐
Capturing of the rear view ๐
Entering Hudiksvalls kommun.
The sky is changing slowlyโฆ
Another view of the mirror ๐
I love the slow arriving of the sunset.
Pink skies ๐๐
We are closer to Sundsvall now ๐
Getting purple slowly
Enjoy the change of the sunset ๐
A beautiful bridge, we didnโt cross. The river is still flowing.
The village churchโฆ we are almost at our AirBNBโฆ it was a long day driving ๐
The path up to the cabin ๐
Let me show you around where we stay for a couple of days to rest up and explore the area. ๐
The living room.
It is open plan, so next to the living room the dining room and kitchen.
The view out over a lake ๐ฅฐ
I love this view just after sunsetโฆ it is getting dark now at 16:25 h.
The lake across the road ๐
Yesโฆ this will be a nice spot for a rest ๐ฅฐ
The next morning as I got upโฆ I see this sunrise ๐
at 8:18h on 5 February 2024
Morning world ๐๐ป
A few hours later, the snow is getting higher the further north we get. Luckily we have winter tires on the car ๐
I leave you hereโฆ untilโฆ soon ๐
So letโs look at how far we have driven in this part.
The km meter says now : 128.948 km, we stopped at 128.555 km in the last part.
What means we have driven 393 km along the road๐
Adding the last total we get : 3,510 km in 9 days of traveling ๐ WOWโฆ
The route (ish) we took, I say โishโ as we always divert slightly off route as we adjust to road conditions and want to drive inland routes tooโฆ ๐
As you can see we are way past Stockholm already.
I hope you enjoyed this next updateโฆ I will post part 8 soon ๐as I know you all are wondering where I am ๐ I will do my best to post and finish the parts.
โฆ and thatโs all for todayโs post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐๐๐ป
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come byโ ๐จ
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.
