From Viggaren to Skobsby

20.4.03   2th day of hiking

We woke up with a dew on the sleeping bag (afterwards I recognized in my water bottle was some ice, so it must have been cold). We had a nice breakfast and start hiking again. To day our aim was the shelter between dot 30 and 31.

After 3 hours hiking I need a rest. We watched out for a nice place. After a good lunch I had a small nap.

Afterwards we walked along a lake. That is quite amazing in sweden, there are a lot of lakes. I haven't been in sweden before but I have seen a lot of pictures of sweden. A typical one is a lake in the nature. It seems fantastic, when you are there it is more than this, it is awesome.

After a long day we reached the our destination for today. There was a shelter. We also met some other guys from sweden. They where there on vacation.
Like always we collected some wood for making a fire in the night. The shelters are well equipped with a saw and an axe.

After the hard work I need a refreshment. Well, there are a lot of lakes as I mentioned before. Next to our camp side there was a lake, the sunset was also quite nice and the water was ...

Later on we started our bonfire. We did two fires. On far away from the shelter on a special fireplace and another one next to the shelter. We heat up the barbeque. We had to be careful because with the fire but it wasn't a problem due to the fact that we had an fireman with us :-).
