Rowing at Svaneholm's castle
Cuckoo!
I loooove to visit castles!
It is so "freakin" romantic!
I can feel the history in the walls.
I can hear the clogs from the servants clatter in the bailey.
I can see white dressed girls in curly hairdo's playing in the park.
In the area around our summer place there are lots of castles!
One of them is this one: Svaneholm.
This is just a side door but still majestic!
I can picture a caravan of horse carriers with men in high hats and women in long dresses driving up for a ball...
The purpose of our visit was far from that fancy though...
We came to use the lake!
We came to row!
We came to get some energy out of the kids.
Sisters with kids in one boat...
Max in one...
Alex in one ( who immediately got mentally transferred into his fantasy books)
And no he was not standing in the boat the whole time and yes we should all have life vests but they only provided that for the small kids and we did not know that...
In the last boat My dear parents had to drag me and Bella around.
To every spot that was covered in waterlilies ( such a besutiful word: waterlilies)
And those spots were many!
An elegant wrapped death trap!
Imagine swimming with all the stems clinging on to your legs pulling you down down. Yuk!!!
Luckily no one fell over board:)
Instead we could enjoy the castle from the sea.
Listen to the happy laughs from the kids.
Watching ducks swimming pass you curious to see if we brought food:)
Looking out for fishes ( must have scared them because we did not see a single one)
The bigger boys just rowed out to the middle of the lake, anchored, found a comfy spot in the boat and plugged in their headphones...
Many ways of enjoying the nature:)
So much to tell these walls....
Anyway the castle is a nice spot for a picnic, a lunch in the restaurant or a trip on the lake!
And as a bonus happy kids, happy moms and yammi ice creams!
