Mats and Bengt took me up north to visit Misterhult and Oskarshamn.
We drove for over two hours with forests either side of the road.
Occasionally the scenery was broken by a service station. These
forests were mixed pine, birch and many other trees.Beautiful and so many trees. No wonder they have a lot of wooden floors.
The boys used to go to a campground - First Camp Gunnarsö - not far from where their grandfather
lived when they were young so we went to see what it looked like
today. What a fabulous campground! So many activities provided. There
was an area blocked off from the sea to swim in. Some of the tents
were really not like camping at all. Inside one I could see a TV,
microwave and fridge. Not camping as I know it!

There were models
of ships that sailed from Oskarshamn. Here is one of the time period
Nils left home.
I did not find anything in the shops there so we walked through the
old part of town. The paths were the old cobblestones. Not much fun if
you wear stiletto heels.
I had not managed to buy any souvenirs yet so we detoured to
Målerås
on our way home. They had the most fabulous glass creations.
Wish some of them were not so heavy and expensive. There was even one
from The Hobbits.
