Where did Marie and her friend spend the nights in the country?

M: Morning, Marie. Did you enjoy your holiday in the country?
W: Yes, thanks. We had a great time. And some friends went with us.
M: Where did you stay, in the hotel?
W: No. We camped in the mountains, near Sweden. We cooked our meals over an open fire.
M: Sounds wonderful. Did you like the people there?
W: Yes, they were great. We met some farmers and then had tea in their houses.
M: When did you get back last night?
W: No, this morning. You’ll think we were mad. We got up at 4: 40, left at 5, and arrived at 9. I’m so tired. What about you? Did you have a good weekend?
M: Yes, but I didn’t do much. I’m just stayed at home. The weather was terrible.
