Having booked a small Audi A1, I was unexpectedly upgraded by Sixt to a large Lynk & Co hybrid SUV for Eddie’s and my weekend trip to Kalmar. Since I did not have to return the car until Monday evening, I decided to make full use of our rental wheels with an extra excursion to Tjolöholm Castle together with Anna’s mother and Eddie.
Located about 40 kilometres south of Gothenburg, Tjolöholm is one of the last castles built in Sweden. Inspired by Tudor architecture, the manor sits beautifully on a windswept peninsula and even served as the backdrop for Lars von Trier’s Melancholia back in 2011. Far less disconcerting than the film, our visit was filled with cake and a wetsuit swim in the Kungsbacka Fjord. Feeling much better in my legs after the swim, I spontaneously signed up for the Malkars 21k on 28 June, so now I have another race to look forward to.
