I was leaving Bremen today. It’s a nice place with lots of great old buildings, tourists, cobblestones and shops as well as some distinct districts with different characteristics. I’d been industrious in Bremen too. I picked up a reconditioned iPad from Amazon to help make my planning, reading and research a little easier. I’m totally …
Well, it was raining this morning, so I didn’t hurry. I’m out of food for breakfast and in all of the wind of the past two days, I didn’t replenish. Luckily, the on-site restaurant did the job. It also provides good cover during a heavy storm and I could recharge some electronics at the same …
Last night, the storms rolled in and brought rain and wind for hours. By morning, there were a few breaks in the weather, so I left the tent and made some breakfast. I packed up in drizzle, but my tent is big enough that I can organise everything undercover, then just put the bags on …
Overcast but nice riding all day. I was expecting bad weather, but the forecast moved that a day further away. As a result, I took the indirect route and looked around the place a little. The day was spent riding through rural areas not far from the Baltic Sea. I left the island of Zealand, …
I had the ‘breakfast with the view’ at the hotel. The view was from the 10th floor and very nice. The breakfast was perfect – a change from muesli, yoghurt and banana. The good thing about Denmark, is that you can order a coffee with milk just about anywhere and it’s good strong coffee. So, …
I had three nights in Stockholm, one in Malmo and two in Copenhagen and then the riding will resume. Stockholm was great. I did a walking tour and wandered around for most of the time. The rest was spent dodging rain and relaxing. I caught a bus from Stockholm to the nice and very bike …
Stockholm, Malmo, Copenhagen and being a tourist again Read More »
My free day in Mariehamn was pretty relaxed. After arriving at midnight and setting up, I was really tired and slept in late. Luckily, the tent was in shade for most of the morning. I should do more of this. Although I’ve had time off in big cities, its only been a day or two, …
I woke up at 7 then rolled over and went to sleep again. There was very little urgency today about anything but breakfast. I only dragged myself out of the tent by 8:30 because the breakfast buffet at the nearby hotel went until 10am. I’ve probably mentioned before that the long evenings in this part …
Good news. I woke up feeling hungry and that’s a good sign. I guess I should have been hungry, as I didn’t have any dinner last night. There was no hurry today as I was aiming to catch the five to five ferry from Hanka to Nagu and that was only 52 kilometres away. I …
Apologies in advance for very few pictures but I’m sure you understand. After last night’s food poisoning – thats my diagnosis, I was very tentative with breakfast and only managed a banana. I had already booked and paid for a room in Turku that night, so I had 65kms to get done. I thought I’d …
