The next day thet hree of us got ready to ride. Unfortunately, Annelie was riding to work while Anneli and I continued our journey down to the south of Sweden.

The weather was perfect for a ride – we did some highway riding but also some really nice small roads. Coming down through Skåne feels exotic to me as well, since the landscape changes and the fields seem endless and the nature is very much different from what I’m used to in Värmland and Västra Götaland. Sweden, in a way, is a large country, it holds so much different nature. The last bit we were riding next to the sea and I could feel the salty smell in my helmet. It was a long ride today as well and we arrived late. The evening was spent with the Swedish WIMAs Carola and Jessica. Once again, an evening filled with food, drink and talk, talk, talk.

 

It felt great to set off together with Anneli. It had rained all morning but stopped just before we were ready to load our bikes.

I had planned to show here some really nice bits of Sweden and while riding towards Gothenburg we took a slight detour to ride in Tissleskogen and see the aqueduct in Håverud. I felt annoyed with my home country, not offering a sunnier weatherforecast but iinstead rather heavy rain, Sweden can be so nice in the summer so why did it have to rain when I was having a guest. Luckily, it stopped when we reached Håverud and we had a nice waffle and coffee while enjoying the view. From there on it was pretty much straight forward towards Gothenburg but with a stop in Trollhättan to check the boot selection (no purchase made though) and later on a big involuntary detour because a truck had fallen over in Lilla Edet. We arrived late and very much awaited in Jonsered, outside Gothenburg, were we had a WIMA Japan-reunion with Annelie.
