Hi all 👋🏻😊 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeKy5fGGKAHjy3rU99m9pRP4kaq5CTnKRhKApYVNc8N2M/img_7020.jpeg) *Shall we continue our road trip to our new country?* Yes 🫣 I know it is long overdue… but we have been sooooo busy, as some of you know. Mostly traveling abroad twice, cleaning up/ setting up the garden and house as it was a mess when we arrived in many ways…. and now; I am #winterising the #cabin before the snow ⛄️ comes. So lots of painting #windows, the outside base of the cabin. I will show you when I am finished with all the restoring of the different parts of the cabin. ☺️ **This journey we will see even more #SNOW, #mountains, #landscapes, #churches and lots of #roads for this part of our journey. I will also show you the #accomodation we ended up in for a week.** This part brings us again a little bit closer to the final destination I am headed… the COUNTRY I MOVED TO 😉 but I still won’t tell you yet. More parts to come. So stay tuned… **This will be PART 8 from 11** and is part of our journey to our new home 🏡 and country 🗺️ earlier this year. Where we will be “driving” ourselves to our new COUNTRY 😊 of residence. We started driving in IRELAND, crossed many countries... FRANCE, BELGIUM , THE NETHERLANDS and GERMANY… *How many more will we cross?* With this post I’m joining in at the **Wednesday Walk challenge** and **Make me Smile challenge**.

The E4 and heading towards Sundsvall still in Sweden 🇸🇪 for now. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfHC2t42Q2mb2N2vdqrbaC5hHuDncn1syXtSuDa2E2NxR/img_6770.jpeg) We are passing by little hamlets and some beautiful churches along the way. The snow next to the road is getting higher… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmafhjTgZFniHV5F4CT9bnZLiJexPMczgD377KJJ3qVYi6/img_6773.jpeg) Everything is so beautiful white and the blue sky is just stunning. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVDX4b42snXHneUJ6oH1jw9xh9whk924i9UacbpRbwdx7/img_6775.jpeg) The Swedish wooden houses come mostly in red or yellow. Some exceptions with grey… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQhWKPkhbJca9oF5YBvabDU5PDr4hMAVRb8dDUEtfuDAW/img_6784.jpeg) … or green 😊 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNYZvC5zmGpj7ngruiGoKLyTgNo9WhQvuxJ6r63aneKtG/img_6790.jpeg) We see a lot of snowplows / road cleaners on the road. To make the roads safer and drivable. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNR1BzP1jeR9RA98dPrMFGHXDp9sg3pbzB63rcaPXehoN/img_6797.jpeg) We are entering **VÄSTERNORRLANDS LÄN** now. A county of Sweden. We are driving further #NORTH. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZ1Qxi6amShmBCtiRDSDkgmzgYjhqT9infCuLqLttfshY/img_6803.jpeg) The views are stunning. We see some hills in the distance. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcjh97MzzskxyhgMxUWSuyJP54k22TdfNBnBxSmgpdJuF/img_6814.jpeg) A beautiful tower next to a petrol ⛽️ station ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQme5idq1L569vkdZ3AcdQz9w5oL5XsBXtbrfZW3SLpv4Lv/img_6820.jpeg) A better capture of it. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWtHPQfBV6nrQUDfu6JbM5g4oVxwcKVdvMPiXsMepkS7a/img_6822.jpeg) We drive further… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdStz1T1KFT6yV1raHkr6zmrL2JGucex382FYuKccA9Xg/img_6825.jpeg) I see horses 🐎 in the distance. They are easy to spot now with all the snow ❄️ ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXx8k4QKpj1NKwZ1wpyAfuo12GDwbMGnPynq8DX1w2N6E/img_6828.jpeg) Little hamlets next to a lake and mountain 🏔️ ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdnC5xPfpu8x4vegTD1QPxLKStdTRTTsd18Ht3b3RjDa8/img_6831.jpeg) The rock facade is covered with icicles 🥶 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaAwvgincoL7moGPgT27uHWashMuZXf65xeTdPCd3FSXD/img_6836.jpeg) Even under the bridges we see lots of ice 🧊 Very cool 😎 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSkRYowPcUoZCFjmwaEJkCBgtBpxAgqT74iV8BSR58WYa/img_6842.jpeg) The sky is very blue right now. No clouds… ok almost no clouds. It depends on what direction we are looking 😁 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTS1UxbcuxnfhkURAdUcrTfcVFjivWZW1NT7YaVbHo6Nz/img_6843.jpeg) We are soon entering the city of Sundsvall. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmarPgo6vfpoj3gdTWLxbXfcCDvKTCGkkXsCF14wbJSWYc/img_6848.jpeg) Driving into the centre we see some impressive #architecture. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfSbfpsjyQQLSddfo8FT6HLsw7WLGxt79QYTkPMPqp3hp/img_6855.jpeg) The buildings are large. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT6LHkt2miZunHw7Upj6Xzn2DKQ9arVjmWJ85MnnDJyr7/img_6857.jpeg) So beautiful, don’t you think? ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUYmfTwrv7Zzw5EfrBRJGVrQkKUncjMDQCjJLBoGm5Pi2/img_6859.jpeg) We stop here for a walk around and to have some lunch. Around 1400h we start our journey further again 🚘 First over the E4… driving NORTH. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYSeAti7MEE2hmrg2hrnfybnYZXpNFNAm35Wwo3qzGDtV/img_6888.jpeg) Suddenly I spot something very colourful 😎 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTU4Sa55SY7sr6cCGWDp5hCGErXyPoY5HszywHNdU3yTF/img_6891.jpeg) I try to capture this cool sculpture 😊 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXdswLiE44zuD7meGNGecR57qTUPKuxHG95mEW8vjHwCa/img_6900.jpeg) As we drive by… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPYEu6z6uVpQa9T8Bc5iyESeBxjbVCMkwdX1ysCDxJcq9/img_6902.jpeg) I like it, it is pretty and stands out so much in this landscape 😊 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQbZ6WiqhJr2zsipRN8wPXTGVh1vG1opNTsmgAnvc5Xdi/img_6903.jpeg) The trees get thicker around us. More foresty 🌳🌲🌳🌲 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdguBA9vEBJ9Rko9rHQsHrFVJS5wmbmr89mJfpQLhr3oz/img_6909.jpeg) Wow, do you see the WALL of CLOUDS approaching? ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXnW2QJrjtp3R5mHMUzVc7psw9gU1u9tFBpSY9wUyWfkR/img_6914.jpeg) We drive past the cutest houses 🏡 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfWjBPnD8g2k94uN7GBZm1STpWKSZJgPkcGEuCcvfKyVQ/img_6916.jpeg) Entering a larger village Härnösand. **Do you see the beaver?** 🦫 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNhxyLdthnwwNjb4zLFB5SYRQKYVhXRfLon8ZSjG4VrMQ/img_6927.jpeg) Another impressive building. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYSGobvpStfKbJYATgZFrJQgGzfzpxvx1JeWeUkjqsfdA/img_6933.jpeg) The front. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNdPYDKiULZcyMF4cWsUS39Pzkj5TewqQfG4Lu31eV4u5/img_6937.jpeg) A large river goes through this village. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeX2D925iiACL64NT3hXNguJBPdVQQoFvjxQY9uGhVf9Z/img_6949.jpeg) A little while further we enter the region of : HÖGA KUSTEN. If you ever want to visit Sweden, head towards this area. So much to see, many walking trails too. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmScZk9ofGKrFytsVSNdPAuuhgs7XeVDmbpCNsyht8hMLu/img_6970.jpeg) We don’t have time to explore it, so we drive further… we will take the 90 road and head inland now very soon. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdZFnRhZK3Wt7ZNSmVkuUN4rq8FyNi2fBAjoHzoQrtpgT/img_6972.jpeg) The road is smaller now and goes through the countryside. My kind of roads 😉 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRhF8bPpiShPez5dU3MMX8t5H5EAwUwRXpsnTzQzBpUCy/img_6977.jpeg) We see stunning skies. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT5vB8iDDooXUgU7Mz4Rcxp6XMYkxN3rk5nWMoaZ77drr/img_6980.jpeg) As we go inland we see more signs of forestry. Piles of logs 🪵 along the roads… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUczRtpzkiQWhro6wcyidKmAEEt34j6jQf1AN4ms1T4BP/img_6986.jpeg) Beautiful hamlets… what a view they have. Over the valley. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmezPRe95n4vo25B4cwLqaRwxo4BAqsVvY4w4BSCF1jqHa/img_6988.jpeg) We are heading towards Sollefteå ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXth3CNa5detVEh3GSjYy2LjriusS2i1sLNaLcEbfAZyH/img_6995.jpeg) Funny little sign… watch out for the crossing of snowmobiles. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUWbY5b18qTN9twEArMs5T4VdiMReBzRtFsQJuRpT4bhr/img_6997.jpeg) Entering Kramfors region. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeYQeU4PGy8C9UZuDCt32mGf9GXbpvqkUQa77cqzYHt7b/img_7004.jpeg) A nice church ⛪️ ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQJckNh89N2ggoSDqsGYg7S2qeR7L5E9KcsL6HE4k6roq/img_7006.jpeg) This church is lit up by the sunshine ☀️ what a view 😊 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYAWNRm8FdjbtTacbyRDBk1QwWqJUfLNDid3cCcfJjdua/img_7027.jpeg) My favourite photo of the day 😎 the sun only hit the tower… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTHzTS6ap8L7HFgVCTyqZAGkheZZVgu6dMYvrnsa26Pku/img_7031.jpeg) Driving further… searching for an exit of this road… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTkd6k4uKXBbSXUUjDERzN9x4LCvgUcNfycxWfxtdk3xu/img_7039.jpeg) Here it is. The road is getting smaller now and more icy ❄️ One lane too. 🚗 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaj1ZCxtjdAX5F8ZdiKxPXLve5wd4JVc8gDyR4Q3iT3HG/img_7043.jpeg) I see more horses next to a farm. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYP7GBLN8TwfjFB75qhriMogvr54TL3QA92e3XZ5cjCr5/img_7049.jpeg) Not long now… and we reach a little hamlet (a few houses together) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUm9ucFbetnxQX4Rnm2cXrby9EHds1rEBnM83QBJQiVA3/img_7058.jpeg) Up to the right… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdMTLZB9drt2qJfEwfhK2b7uEaXh7sHd6de9qMD4k3B8j/img_7062.jpeg) Some of the farms are huge here… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZmpjfgSWNz74ts9bML2NtWQ9sdSuCsMh3DgRDQje9wp8/img_7063.jpeg) A few more kilometres 😊 we drive slow… as it is very slippery. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWY4VMU4LxaN5hnpCk7y6vRcRBiqRu7aARRdRgWHxe9UH/img_7064.jpeg) The sun starts to set 🌄 a very subtle #sunset. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcXsG8VmSFUATnaUQLnyD4Yar1CKRU6KX91AEmHc61xMe/img_7068.jpeg) We hope to arrive before it gets dark. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaWPMCjavCtprYeDMNsQiRBNyggjKyZPzReuG8DYx8inx/img_7072.jpeg) We drive over long and winding country lanes. They are sand roads or gravel. No asphalt. So it can be bumpy in places. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZWKFCGozXjVFs7LCJxi1yz8eTMmPNyjZ7f8ARDdu6m9x/img_7078.jpeg) A few more turns… ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZEYSJXd1Q98LRVv1s5idjHfxxkUfo9hZbDFJUfKoEG2H/img_7085.jpeg) I see or accommodation in the distance. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaWnpB32adLNp8KXVTSEctj16ntiAjhw3tYy1dYbVLCwg/img_7087.jpeg) We are renting a house on a farm. It is the left house the owner rents out. He lives in the right yellow house. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdhEKYBq2UVGTDaAsidm8Me8vU5HiVYM4UyWX9Nym9DV9/img_7088.jpeg) We arrived… yeah… we unload the car, as we stay for a week. To rest up a bit after driving more than 3000 km. All the moving boxes 📦 we put in a spare bedroom. After we settled in. I have a look around the house. The most beautiful feature of this house is its staircase. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQFbSk89kCcKY3R6u9NCW3uVJi1wjf5XAf46TM7RG2PfE/img_7099.jpeg) The house comes with a cat 🐈 She is sooooo cute. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVJvHUoTxVXGygqe548PvUQSdKkw3s4WXMjNhptCk3odH/img_7105.jpeg) The next day, she comes closer… and is very friendly… she did crawl up on my lap every evening. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmS3i6c1uVgtLoovmhEYezsR2rrgMxhqJLSvi4M96gTF4N/img_7107.jpeg) The next morning we have this view out of the window 🪟 WOW 🤩 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZfpZmMSAmLq4JdvDWN8JjGA2g5EUzVtTxHdu3b6EqzLV/img_7126.jpeg) Isn’t the view beautiful 😊 we really like this place. The owner was also very friendly and we would talk forever. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXwNcQZ8vErkMpL1eCorhHVa7edaa5nL5QdVSuagpBhxe/img_7136.jpeg) The km says how much we have driven when we stopped. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZ3SPL2B1UKcXDVW5bWyJbiFDBEqtdzKyuReCCy2qwvnE/img_7197.jpeg) So let’s look at how far we have driven in part 8. The km meter says now : 129.163 km, we stopped at 128.948 km in the last part. What means we have driven 215 km along the road🚗 Adding the last total we get : 3,725 km in 10 days of traveling 😉 We will be at this accommodation for a week, to rest up and explore the stunning surroundings of the middle of Sweden 🇸🇪 When we leave for our next accommodation and start part 9, our km display says we start at 129.636 km after us exploring. I will not count this change in the overall km’s of traveling to our final destination 🤓 The route (ish) we took, I say “ish” as we always divert slightly off route as we adjust to road conditions and/ or want to drive inland routes… 😁 especially the last parts of our route go inland, over icy and snowy roads. I do prefer them, as you may already know. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTBUcyizr7gkmz47bvnoinrXm4bmnx3qKXnrWt3stMp8L/img_5246.jpeg) I will do my best and post part 9 soon 😊as I know you all want to know whereabouts I am in this wide world 🌍 … and that’s all for today’s post my friends.
