Our stuga in Leksand

Since we had tickets to Canada's first 2 games (Dec 26 and 27) at the World Juniors, we stayed overnight in Leksand at one of the many stugar or cabins that are found in this area. We have stayed in stugar before, but this one was bigger and nicer. We had our own little kitchen which included a sink with running water - often there is no running water in these cabins and you go to a central building to do dishes or use a toilet or shower. We also had a bathroom - what luxury!


This fireplace shows the typical "hood" you find above most fireplaces and stoves in Sweden. You can see D sitting on a bunk bed in one of the 2 small bedrooms.













Here we are outside the stuga which is on a hillside studded with pine trees overlooking the lake below.









We had breakfast with J, E, and Farfar before they left and headed home. We stayed on to explore the area before the next game in Mora on the night Dec. 27th. Before leaving our little stuga, we had to do the chores - vacuum, tidy up, fold up our bed linens and put them in the car (you bring your own sheets, pillowcases and towels or you pay extra) and make sure the bathroom was clean. If you want someone to do the cleaning for you, you will pay another $50 CAD.
