Walking = Pizza right!?

25th September 

We were hoping the weather was going to be kinder to us today, at 7am this morning our hopes were dashed when we awoke to what sounded like someone throwing marbles on the roof! 

I plucked up the courage to peek out the blind, and low and behold it was chucking it down and haling. bugger. 

We chose not to leave early and stayed in till about 11ish, by then the rain and hail had stopped, the sun was trying its best to break through the clouds. 

We headed out head to one of the local nature walks, which happens to have a castle near by too. The castle is located at Torpa Stenhus - http://www.torpastenhus.se/. The castle had sadly closed to the public just the week before, but we had a little wander around outside. 

After this we marched off ready for adventure on the red cow walk! Yes thats right our walk was a cow! I was only 2.5K but with the weather looking so uncertain we did not want to be out for hours on end in the middle of a forest walking in the rain. 

During the drive in, I noticed that they had cows in some of the fields and horses. I was hoping I would get to see some and say hello. The two cows above where right be the fence until we walked up. Then they walked off and refused to come over. Meanies. 

As you can see the sun did come out for a little while. In fact just long enough for us to enjoy this walk. 

I had a go at taking a panorama with my phone too, never used this feature before, and im pretty pleased with it! 

 

Further down the walk, I saw an area which had a few horses. One of them was a foal, just as I saw about to take a photo the little beggar laid down!! You might be able to see him or her peeking up above the log! 

After about 10 minutes of me talking to them and making daft horse sounds, and approaching different part of the fence one of the horses started to walk over! It was very unsure at first, but I had a little chat and fed it some grass. It did try and bite me until I told it otherwise and said I was a friend. 

Here I am feeding it some grass. 

Mag got a bit bored waiting for me to stop talking to the horse, so I thought id better walk on a bit more with him. 

After our walk we headed back to the town next from where the house is and had another walk around the factory shops here. I managed to find a new hoodie for 200Sek which is about £20 or less. Really nice. Will put a photo up another day. 

Since I was shattered, we both agreed to have dinner earlier than normal and it would be Swedish pizza, now their pizza is just fantastic its the pizza of your dreams!! 

Mine is the one on the left - Super (pretty much kebab meat and salad on a pizza) 

Mag's is on the right and he had a Gallstad special - kebab meat with pickled chillies! 

Both came with white sauce on them called Sas, we have no idea what is in it but its amazing and I wish I could bottle it up! 

After pizza I did some uni work, managed to start my next assignment got just under 300 words done and part 1 a done. So that's a bonus! 

Tired now will update tomorrow  :)
