Tosselilla - Sweden's Summer Land!!

Having grown up in Australia, and more accurately Queensland - the home to some of the best adventure parks in the world - being told that we would be headed to an adventure park on Sweden's National Day was a very exciting prospect. I did however have to quickly overcome my disapointment when I discovered this was the Willow Springs style adventure park (for those who knew S-W Qld in the 80's) rather than the Dreamworld,Seaworld or Wet n Wild.

I did however have the pleasure of experiencing my first traffic jam in Sweden! Tosselilla has no public transport to nor from, and with one of the major banks in Sweden offering it's customers free tickets to celebrate the national day, our car became motionless some 15km before the park. Approx 40mins later we were happily parked and eager to relase our inner child!

We were invited along by Johannes, his parents and of course Nettan. Johannes neice and nephew came as well - and can i just say they were the most well behaved children who didnt seem to mind a bit that the "big kids" were just a little selfish with regards to what was next on the agendar!

Some pictures of the "big kids" enjoying their day...

oh and the very best part! Choklad Banan... do you know that Sweden (read: Håkan) has hidden this little treat from me until now. It is literally a banana - cut a split down one side (not all the way through) - shove some chocolate in the slit and throw it on the bbq!
I like!
