11 July Camping Bredang Stockholm

Concert-Hall-Stockhom
Concert-Hall-Stockhom

Arrived early 1030 no pitches with electricity left so parked up with no electricity 315SK a bit expensive. Vehicles parked on top of one another well! Close. The Belgium’s one side and some Australians the other both decided as we did that it was not worth stopping more than a day, facilities terrible and for the first time on the trip obnoxious kids. Metro to the ferry terminal to book a ship to Finland nothing available to Turku Helsinki or Estonia until 18 July, so we cannot wait that long also we feel that we would now also have trouble both getting our Russian cruise and getting back out of Finland so with great regret we have decided to turn and head for home.
