The morning was like always: Breakfast, put the stuff together,
... , and ... :-) (the tower was quite high, or Anselm). We said goodbye to
our friends, they stayed there a little bit longer. We started to walk ...

We looked around for another hour and tried to find someone but despite a clerk of the swedish government (the camping ground was a refugee camp during the winter time and she organized that stuff) there wasn't anybody.
