After our trip to Dalarna back in the summer we could not resist visiting it again, this time over New year. We did not expect to like it in winter as much as we did in summer, but that is exactly what happened. The wonderful winter weather with fresh snow was one reason. The great… Continue reading Dalarna in winter and summer

A road trip around lake Siljan in Dalarna
I guess it is not possible for me to start this blog post without mentioning Corona. Since the pandemic made travelling uncertain, our strategy for planning a trip over Midsummer was being able to cancel all bookings up until the last moment, in case we would not be allowed to travel.
