THE LAST EVENING
Our last evening was good food , wine and company – reliving the trip and making future ones ! Caz and Mark had been incredibly knowledgeable and fun guides , ensuring we had the best time possible . Everybody should have a ‘ Caz ’ on their trip ; her food was thoughtfully prepared and delicious .
A late night meant a relaxed start to our last day , with final goodbyes at the motel as we had different buses to take – it felt strange to be back at Gothenburg airport , waiting for my flight – I had a backpack full of memories . I felt like I had experienced the most relaxing of trips .
It was early enough for us to pop into town to find the recommended local bakery where we had lunch , and then we split into two groups to explore – I found the local kayak centre that knew our guides and had a good amount of kit to check out . I bought a local map of the islands – a beautiful keepsake .
EXCEEDED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS
The trip to Sweden is not about how many miles you can paddle ; it ’ s about the islands , the experiences , the food , the company and the memories you will forever hold . Sweden undoubtedly exceeded all my expectations – I think on the first day , I messaged my husband to tell him we needed to come back !
The WSA know about adventure and makes these trips incredibly well ; their guides have years of experience under their belts and bring excellent knowledge and fun to any trip . All you have to do is bring your adventurous spirit .
“ Paddling in crystal clear water surrounded by the beauty of nature and in great company was a memorable adventure . From making new friendships , eating gourmet meals on a campfire , and being challenged on the water , I feel immensely grateful for all of it , and I hope to return .” Anna
