Ackerblads, a land with no eletricity adapters...

... so this will be short.

We left Uppsala in a car this morning and headed to Gamla Uppsala, where there are Viking buriel grounds. It was raining and grey so we had the place to ourselves. There was a funny little museum full of folk history that sounded a lot like mythology to us, but perhaps, that's what our history sounds like to others. A lot of their history is speculation based on shoddy ruins that were poorly excavated in the 1700s. There also seems to be some mythology about who the vikings were. Some woman told us that it's a myth that they were violent raiders, other sources suggest otherwise.

We took a long drive northwest to Lake Siljian. We are staying in a cute town called Tallsburg at Hotel Ackerblads. It's kind of a weird place and we suspect that it is Sweden's upscale version of the Catskills. No Jews of course.
