The last of the three Sweden days saw me riding in the southern tip of this fine country. I hate to say this but everything in the landscape and countryside looks a tad nicer than in Finland. Well looked after farms and country houses and less dense forests. The southern tip then has a lot of history, stone houses and barn buildings that might have seen the fights between Swedes and Danes in Gustav Wasa’s times.
With Stefano still stranded in Linköping in the morning, I rode today’s leg alone. Getting out of Växjö was tricky, the main road that connects east and west is a motorway. Had to find my way through residential areas and industry parks. Eventually we were on the beloved state road 23. The sun high up, the wind from behind and increasingly from the right side, best riding conditions, in the end reflected in an overall average speed of 31.2km/h. I did 40 to 50km stretches, then I had to get off the bike to bend the back the other way round, get out of the saddle (sitting on it hurts down there by now a bit) and shake the legs. The upper leg muscles let me feel the distance.
Speaking of distance, we’ve done now more than half of the whole journey. Somewhere around Hässleholm that mark was crossed.
Including this day the total distance has been 925km. From here it’s all downhill… Actually not, we start from the baltic sea coast and work our way up some lower mountain areas in GER.
We, this includes Stefano again. He managed to get his bike disassembled so that the bus accepted it. He’s on the way here to Trelleborg and should arrive in good time to reach the ferry at 22:00. So tomorrow it’s riding together again.
Go to Day 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Polo Shirts has admittedly and unabashedly reworked traditional British style in his individual eyesight for years, but this knitted hunting jacket may just be the pinnacle of his prowess. The silhouette is defiantly hip,even although preserving the origins from the design. And all those people additional pockets for shotgun shells are just good using the modern factors guys carry.

Had 3 different sales people approach me and asked if I needed help. Granted, I went on a weekday close to closing, so of course they had more time to help me. I got suggestions after I asked one of the girls a question, and they were all very helpful, friendly, and genuine.I’ve also coach outlet online been here when the place was a madhouse. My advice if you really want to feel acknowledged and helped by the staff is to go during slow hours like early when they open on weekdays or close to when the store closes at 9PM. But by all means if you want to blend in with the crowd of purse-hungry women, go on weekends when it will be packed.Lots of cute purses. Prices are obviously more affordable than Coach boutiques. I’ve purchased a cute clutch here that I use as a makeup bag and if I’m going out at night, it’s perfect for clubs and/or a nice dinner without carrying around my huge Coach satchel.

Men, instead of being content with being freely given for long periods what they hardly dared hope to get once, are forever asking their mistresses for an account of the present, the past and even the future. As they get used to a mistress, they try to dominate her, and they become all the more demanding the more they are given.
