After 2 weeks in Stockholm being looked after by our wonderful Swedish family, we're finally on our bikes and heading south. Tommy, Lin and the kids took us hiking in the Swedish countryside, mountain biking, boating on the Swedish archipelego, fed us on cinnamon buns and generally treated us so well.
Today, Tommy dropped us about 200km south of Stockholm beside the Göta Canal.
The riding was delightful - cold and a bit damp but lush green countryside, lots of lakes and rolling hills. We made a slight mistake with navigation and ended up on this rediculously busy rode with wire barricade down the middle for a couple of km. We wanted to live, so the only option was walk our bikes on the outside barrier.
In Linköpping, we rode past an Ikea and couldn't resist Swedish meatballs for lunch!
We stayed at a Folkhögskolla in Rimforsa for the night. A good start to the trip.
