Vimmerby

We get to the nice, cool stuga just in time to settle down and watch a bit of Sweden beat Switzerland and England beat Columbia (on penalties! Thank you lord). It's a cosy place, firmly nestled in the seventies with a nice big veranda on one side where we can sit and BBQ. We need shopping so me and Stella head in to fix. Pass a bar when Sweden score the winning goal to happy roars.
Hot as hell in the car going up. No A/C and filled to the brim with stuff n kids. Stopped at a hellhole MacD's (hot car park, very full with a long queue.) Blah. 
But all worth it for the next coupla days. The wee ones had a riot seeing stories from books n film come to life in front of them. But first a stuga tour with Astrid:

And as theme parks go it was pretty damn good. Loads of places to rest up and cool down. Merchandise wasn't pushed down our necks, in fact we bought nothing except coffee and ice cream.
Both days ended with a refreshing dip in Nossen, a nearby nose-sounding lake.
