After disembarking from the Kolarbyn Eco-lodges our group took a 3 hour car ride to Väddö, a small village on the eastern side of Sweden. Sadly, it was quite a gloomy and rainy day so we were not able to go see the town, and instead settled into our rooms at the Folkhögskola (“Folk Highschool”, similar to a community college).
Each “dorm room” has two separate bed-rooms, equipped with a desk, TV, and, of course, a bed (a very comfy one I might add). After unloading bags and quickly freshening up from our couple days of wilderness-living, we met up for a group dinner of traditional Swedish meatballs. Following dinner was a short-but-sweet tour of the school and its facilities, before everyone, exhausted and full of food, headed back to the rooms for some much needed rest time.
The island of Väddö and this Folkhögskola are nice and homey and I can’t wait to see the town tomorrow!
