Orsa - Sunne

From Orsa a good two and a half hours south: Shopping at an ICA Maxi, a storm with hail and a cottage on a farm with cows and a calf.

In short

Because we were still editing photos the evening before and it got late, we only check out at noon and drive a good two and a half hours south. On the way a storm with torrential rain and hail moves in, and we wait in a car park until it is over. We spend the night in a small cottage on a farm, and cows and a calf graze in front of the balcony.

Because we were still editing a few photos last night, we got to bed late. So we only check out at noon and set off for the next accommodation, which is a good two and a half hours’ drive south. On the way we go shopping at an ICA Maxi and Annina buys a pair of loose trousers, since her legs are covered in mosquito bites. Back on the road, a storm slowly gathers above us. At first we photograph the great atmosphere with the dark clouds and the partly sunlit forests.

Shortly afterwards the storm hits us. The heavens open and the rain gets so heavy that we have to stop at a car park next to the road, because we can no longer see out of the car. We wait in the warmth while it starts to hail outside and it feels like the end of the world.

After a while we dare to get back on the road, and less than five minutes later we are back in fine weather with completely dry roads… The storm was probably very localised, but our car badly needed a wash anyway, and now it has had one for free.

We arrive at our accommodation, a small cottage on a farm. The key is already in the lock on the outside. The accommodation is very nicely and cosily furnished and we look forward to this night in the countryside. We have a large, beautiful balcony and right in front of it there is a lush meadow with cows and even a little calf, which hops around happily. We spend the rest of the afternoon on the terrace watching the cows. 🐮

In the evening we once again have mashed potatoes with veggie meatballs and, of course, a salad. Tonight we’d like to get to bed a bit earlier, because tomorrow we want to set off south again early.
