Willys are cheaper than Lidl which lidl learned the hard way -lidls only way to compete is the hardwares whey sell and the german/dutch brands of food + the short counters lidl had is now a past since they were forced to quit with themin sweden ,I personally hated them as any swede

The snake is called Snok (Natrix natrix) in Swedish or grass snake. A non-venomous colubrid snake ...you often see them around or in lakes

10:22 Fun fact, the hooks, ladders and the white red ring can be used at all times. The hook/ladder is used so that the people in need can grab it and hang on to it instead of a person going to them so that the people rescuing don't fall in and get in danger as well, and usually the ring is thrown out to the water so that the victim can grab onto that as well, when you throw it you stand on the white little thing that's in the middle of the ring (you can take it out of the ring) and then there's a rope in it so you can pull the victim back to shore. This boat, ring, ladder and hook is something we see at every single beach/lake in sweden (pretty much). And of course it can be used during winter season as well if someone has fallen through the ice.

What's important to know when visiting Scandinavia is we all have "freedom to roam". I'm not 100% sure about the rules in Sweden, as I'm Norwegian. I know Denmark is a bit more restrictive when it comes to private land. In Norway; You are allowed to walk in any forest you want, you don't have to ask permission. You can even pick berries and mushroom without asking permission. You can camp almost anywhere (2 nights) as long as you're 150m from house/cabin if I remember correctly. In the high mountains or far from people you can stay more than 2 nights. You can also stay longer with the consent of the land owner. Park4Night is a really good app with many good places.

That snake is very common here in Finland, and is called a beach snake here (also called a grass snake in other places). We get them all the time at our lake cottage. Always give me the willies though, even though it's harmless, as the poisonous viper is not that dissimilar in size or colour, so when you spot one it always gives you an initial fright. I had one swimming towards me a couple of years ago, which was even worse, as I couldn't tell the species. My swimming sped up quick smart! I like the delight you have for the facilities in places. They are so nice in the Nordic countries. It always makes me ashamed of what public toilets and other public facilities can be like in NZ (where I'm from) and in the UK. Great to see you having a good time in shitty weather too. It's 100 times more amazing in Finland and Sweden when it's a good summer. Endless summer nights, swimming and bbqing.

Yep. that is a Snok and it s harmless., The other type (Huggorm) have a zigzag pattern and is a type of a viper that is somewhat poisonous to humans. Just take it easy if you get bit. Not really deadly but never the less a scary experience if they kiss you and you can feel a bit sick for a while but that is usually from the chock of the bite. :)

@@crabbypaddy5549 important to know that Huggorm can be pitch black as a Snok as well so don't go poking around if you not 100% sure. The easiest way is to check either the back of the head or belly of the snok, it should be white/yellow markings. A snok also have round big pupils while huggorm have the classic "snake eyes" Huggorm is also a spring/early summer snake, while snok can be found up to October/November before they go into brumation for the winter.

New to your chanel and I think i like it! Also, funny that you're doing the Lapland trip 'since it's so close'. I think if you would head south from Malmö and go the same distance as you would end up in Rome 🙂

Randomly brought here by the algorithm. Have to admit I thought you'd just go to a campsite or two in Skåne right by the bridge. Was pleasantly surprised that you plan to see the full length of the country because it changes several times as you go north. Hilarious that you think it's "close" to go up north and pass down through Finland since most of the population never travel north of Stockholm :)

I don’t understand the thumbs down but everyone has a right to their opinion, I thought that was great video, the lights were superb you two looked so happy and you could see the fun in you both and that for me is SPECIAL. Life is all about cramming as much enjoyment as you can. Thank you both for sharing I SMILED all the way with you.plus as I live in my van you gave a great insight to what it’s like to travel to so many places, I’ve just done 6644miles in Scotland that was the best 5 weeks possibly of my life, I enjoyed it like you two are doing there, Once again BRILLIANT thanks for sharing.

In Australia our rest area have signs beware of snakes then all the way to the toilets snakes painted on the ground so you don't forget to check the ground and toilet seat.
