The first major accomplishment of the trip.

In 1996, I spent the summer with the Nastrom's in Germany and I was able to visit Denmark and spend a couple days in Copenhagen.  So for me, biking through Germany and Denmark was not as much of a thrill as getting to Sweden would be.  As we stood at the port before getting on our ferry the sense of accomplishment had begun to set in.  We had covered over 800km in eight days of biking and we were about to begin a long stretch of road that was completely new to both of us.


Just before catching the ferry to Sweden.


Our next destination would be Bovallstrand, Sweden and as we arrived in Helsingborg, Sweden, it was important to deal with some of our logistical issues before heading north.  It would be a long stretch between Helsingborg and Bovallstrand and we are not too sure what to expect.  We wrote emails, bought groceries and charged our phones in preparation for the unknown.  However, being in Sweden allowed us to have a campfire for the first time on the trip so far.  So, we would be eating well from here on out.
