The Experience

One of the amazing things about living in Gothenburg is the closeness to nature. A few of us left from work on a Friday and took the train up to Surtesjön, a lake north of Gothenburg. A quick hike from the station and we found a spot for camping, cooking and swimming by the edge of the lake.

Aside from being eaten by mosquitos, it was the perfect spot.

On Saturday, we did the 7.5km hike around the lake, before returning to have a swim in the midday sun.
