Our plan for the day was to drive around Lake Vättern, although we never quite achieved that as I kept finding things that I wanted to look at en route. Anyway, we started off at the town of Jönköping and I’m not sure that it occurred to me that the lake might be frozen.
I clambered down to the ice, but I was conscious of falling over and Richard was more sensible standing on the safety of the pavement. I was very brave to be honest.
The view across to the older part of the town.
The ice was melting, but I suspect it would have been possible to walk on it. But, I didn’t as I’m sensible like that.
It felt like being in the Caribbean. As a side issue, Vättern means lake or water, so it’s not really known as Lake Lake locally…..
