Our second to last stop on Nic's "Motherland Tour" was in Trehorna.
Another beautiful church in a beautiful location.
There was an older gentleman who was tending to a grave who tried talking with me, and got quite upset when I asked him if he spoke English. Thank goodness Maddie was there to talk with him about why we were stomping through the graveyard.
Here, Nic's great great grandmother, Anna, was born.
Right next to the church was Trehorna Wardshus, a hotel, restaurant, cafe, spa, gym and event center.
Only one thing mattered - they had beer, and we were all in desperate need.
We enjoyed them out on the deck, enjoying an incredible view.
Our last stop was Marbacks.
Nic's great-great-great grandmother, Eva was born here.
Upon walking through the church gates, we had three kids on our heels the entire time. They had ridden their bikes to the church from their house just down the road. Again - thank goodness for Maddie and her ability to speak with the locals!
Here's a quick riddle for you:: how can you tell you've been in the car too long, and have waited about 27 seconds too long to locate a place to eat dinner?
answer:: you are able to catch Mom eating something from McDonalds.
Yeah...after this night we vowed to always have a plan in place for meal times. The first restaurant/pub we stopped at had nothing, absolutely nothing, that I could eat. The second restaurant was promising, but the service was terrible, so we walked out before our waitress took our order, and the third restaurant...well - there was a McDonald's two doors down, and it was already 10PM with another 90 minutes in the car looming ahead of us. We had to eat and get going....
...get going to the roach hotel in Gothenburg.
I was not a happy sleeper.
That is so cool that you are able to see where Nic's family was born! Not cool... roach hotels and McD's. But it's worth it for travel :)
