Last Motorhome Weekend – We Celebrate It in Kungshamn

Read this post in Swedish →

Once or twice a year, we come here to enjoy the view, the salty swims, and the wonderful feeling of living by the sea. The service facilities are spotless, and the campsite is cozy and family-friendly.

The only thing to watch out for is crossing the road to get into town – cars tend to drive a little too fast on the curve. But if you look carefully, you’ll make it across in one piece.

Waking Up Early in Kungshamn

Waking up at half-past four here in Kungshamn wasn’t exactly the dream. The darkness lay heavy over the sky, and the wind howled, creating sounds that made it hard to enjoy the silence.

But the coffee – it tasted amazing. That feeling of truly being off work, fully free, was strong. After a while, I went back to bed and slept for a couple more hours.

A Morning with Fever and an Upset Stomach

During the night, I’d had a fever and felt chilled, and my stomach was acting up again. But after some rest in the morning, I felt better – the fever seemed to have passed.

By mid-morning, we decided to take a walk to Coop to shop for dinner: baked potatoes, grilled chicken fillets, and a fresh salad. Of course, tzatziki would be the perfect finishing touch.

A Chilly Swim – But Worth Every Second!

When we got back from the store, I quickly changed into my swimwear and headed to the jetty. Unfortunately, I’d forgotten my swim gloves, so my fingers got cold in the water.

I won’t deny it was chilly, but the feeling afterward was unbeatable. My whole body was filled with endorphins, my thoughts slowed down, and a deep sense of calm settled in for hours.

A warm shower in the motorhome was enough to heat me back up, and I haven’t been cold since.

Dinner in the Motorhome – A Royal Setting

The potatoes were baking slowly in the oven. The chicken fillets were marinating, and soon it was time to prepare the salad. Tonight, I planned to set the table a bit more elegantly here in the motorhome – there’s something special about eating indoors when autumn is in the air.

After dinner, my sketchbook would come out, and perhaps the evening would end with a movie on Netflix.

A Perfect End to the Motorhome Season

The sun is shining here in Kungshamn, and the wind isn’t too cold. It feels like the perfect way to close the motorhome season – a mix of calm, nature, cozy moments, and a hint of melancholy.

There’s something magical about feeling the crisp autumn air after a swim, then stepping into the warmth to enjoy a good dinner.

Now I’m looking forward to a relaxing evening of creativity and maybe a film.

Closing Thoughts

This really was a fitting end to the motorhome season. How about you – how do you create that feeling of being truly off work and relaxed?

Where is your favorite place for an autumn weekend – by the sea, in the forest, or at home with a blanket and tea?

Reflection:
To be on the road yet at peace – that’s the magic of motorhome life. The journey is not just about moving from place to place, but also about pausing life’s noise and settling into the moment.
