Ireland 2024 – Day 1

First day of our trip to Ireland. This time we are three people in two cars. Us in our Mazda MX-5 and one friend in his Lotus Elise. Today we covered most of the transfer through Sweden, from Stockholm to Lund. In all 638 km, about of which half of it on highways. It’s been raining a lot, so the softtop stayed up all day. This year we’ve added a luggage rack and an extra bag. We’ve also fitted some other wheels on the car. With tires that cope better with rain.

The extra bag fitted on the luggage rack and ready to go

Near Norrköping we found another Mazda Miata. It kept us company for a while.

Kroatorpet in Huskvarna

We met with our travel companion just north of Huskvarna. We stopped there for a light lunch. Due to the weather We ate the lunch inside. But it’s a pretty little wooden house that has been converted to a coffe shop and restaurant.

Easy to spot a yellow Elise
Rain was the theme of the first day
We stay over night at a cheap but surprisingly good motel in Lund

After checking in at the motel and washing the cars. We went for a walk in the city center.

    You will be very welcome in Ireland. Weather here showery and unseasonably cold, sounds worse than it is! Just a colder summer than usual – safe driving!
