After a long drive avoiding elk & dear we arrived at a small family run campsite on the edge of Lake Vattern. Jake found the most ginormous hedgehog which he attempted to play with…until he realised it was all spiky!

We spent a day exploring the area, visiting Vadstena castle, one of the finest early-Renaissance buildings in the nordic region apparently! On the way back, we drove through some of the little villages along the lake and stumbled across an amazing ruined church with the main alter wall still standing. It was covered in moss and ivy and stood eerily in a field surrounded by farms.
