Sweden – Onward to Gransfors Bruks Axes

After the decision was made for Lisa to return to the UK for a short period a route change had to happen to meet the availability of an affordable airline.

We were going to head up to the forge and then cut back across to Norway at Trondheim but as our departure grew closer it seemed a long way out and we would also miss out on the main fjord region of Norway (which seemed to be the main attraction). Things were changed last minute and I thought I would never get the opportunity to visit GBA again…
