Last November I went to Sweden and Norway. With the ferry from Kiel, Germany to Gothenburg in Sweden with Stenaline. One night sleep on the boat and the next morning you are in Sweden. November was quite cold already and I had to get used to it the first morning, but all the lovely coffeeshops with delicious pastries were a good excuse to get warm again. Remarkable is the amount of daylight you have. Around 09.30 it started to get light but around 15.30 it was already dark again!

We stayed in a little wooden house in Charlottenberg, near a lake. The house had a sauna warmed by wood stove, with the river nearby to jump into for cooldown. What an experience !
