Sweden

Our passion for campervanning is growing more and more and after my trip to Ireland our family decided to get on the wheels again and travel south of Sweden in a mobile home. We took the ferry from Rostock to Trelleborg, drove along the east coast to Stockholm, visited the big lakes in the middle and returned via the west coast back. Our favorite part was the second largest swedish island Öland. We enjoyed the vast space and solitude. Due to everyman's right, great infrastructure and swedish hospitality it is a perfect camping destination.

Unfortunately we also experienced a robbery.  While having a couple shoot in Goteborg  someone smashed the front window in our mobile home and stole all our precious eblongings. We were told by the guy who exchanged our glass, that he has such cases 3 times a day. Especially in summer there are gangs coming outside of Sweden and are specifically looking for cars with international plates, they call it hunting season. Autoalarm also does not help all the time, as the thieves firstly crack the glass on the sides with a screwdriver and then slowly remove the window (see the picture at the end of the gallery). So just be careful and do not leave any precious things in you car anywhere. It is also not recommended to sleep alongside highways, where autostrada pirates are attacking. I do not want spread fear or bad mood, just be cautious and protect your belongings while traveling everywhere.

And here our robbed car.
