On a very hot summers day we visited this Sculpture park in the great outdoors of Pilane in Sweden. It was a little exposed and so one of those days you end up rushing a bit to get to the ice creams. The park was very special and the sculptures all the more so.There were exhibits by Ai Wei Wei and Charlotte Gyllenhammar, there is a millennia old burial ground and there are spectacular views. Oh and they are huge!
The summer of 2023 we had a special trip to Sweden to see our daughter Hannah and Chris who have moved to Gothenburg. (Gothenburg). We went with Katie and Rick and our grandson (3). This day we took the bus and tram from our airBnB to Hannah’s home, a bus and a ferry down the archipelago to the furthest south island within reach Vrango. For those of you who think Sweden is expensive the day travel out and back was £4, all transport was on time and we had no wait longer than 2 minutes, and all transport was electric. On the island we walked through the small villages, the harbour and the nature reserve, we had a picnic by the sea and a swim in the Baltic despite a few jelly fish. We saw very few people, lots of birds and the sun shone – very special.
