Henån - Hindås

We spend the morning at our lovely accommodation and only drive on around noon. Our very friendly hosts have given us a few tips for beautiful coastal villages in the area. So we drop the places we had picked out and first drive to Hälleviksstrand, a small fishing village on the southern part of the west coast. From there we have a nice view of the sea with the idyllic boathouses, and we walk through the charming little lanes between them. We really like the peaceful-looking, colourful houses.

Before we head to the next coastal village on our list, our stomachs start to rumble and we look for a take-away restaurant. We find one, Fröken Trulls, and are surprised by its size and the number of visitors. We have rarely seen so many people in one place in these times. The restaurant is something very special, because it not only sells food but is also an antiques and junk shop and a plant nursery. The antiques are not just merchandise but also serve as decoration. People eat at the old tables and on the chairs and sofas, all of which are for sale, and there is seating in the lovely garden next to the greenhouses as well. So while we wait for our vegetable pizza, we can look at the antiques. We really enjoy the food. It is the first time we have gone to a restaurant. With full stomachs we continue to Mollösund, another fishing village by the sea a little further south, with a beautiful harbour. We particularly like this village, and the weather keeps getting better until we have nothing but sunshine.

We then decide to drive straight to our accommodation in Hindås near Gothenburg, as we still want to shop at an ICA Maxi on the way. The new accommodation is a loft with a balcony and a view of the lake. The hosts give us a warm welcome and show us everything. The loft is modern and we feel very comfortable here. In the evening Annina reads a little on the balcony, Nicolas edits his photos, and for dinner we have pesto bread and two different salads.
