On our rest day in Mellerud we did more or less nothing. It rained almost all day and was a bit cold. So we took the advantage of our cabin and stayed inside protected from the rain. In the evening when the rain paused for 2 hours we took a walk along the coast of lake Vänern. The landscape was…
After the tough last stage to the Dalsland district we decided to stay three nights in our cosy cabin in Ed. On our first day we took a walk around Lake Lilla Le. The centre of the city was on the opposite side of the lake. There we discovered a beautiful café, where we ate delicious cakes to celebrate Alex´s…
After waking up in our warm and cosy apartment in Grebbestad we looked outside the window and saw exactly what the weather forecast had predicted – a cloudy sky with a bit of rain. The temperature was around 4 to 5° Celsius. But anyway, we wanted to continue our tour and hoped it would not get too bad. On a…
After six really relaxing days in Lysekil, where we used the time to recover, we could not wait any longer to continue our tour. We started with an early breakfast in the big dining area, packed our bags and got ready. When we attached our bags to the bicycles outside we noticed how warm it was. There was almost no…
The stage the day before was really tough and we felt every bone in our body when we woke up. But at least we had a warm cabin and we were really happy about that. A lot of camper buses were on the camping ground but the lady at the reception told us that for the cabin nobody was coming…
Like all the nights in the tent so far, also this night was quite cold. But after the gear shopping in Göteborg and some research we got a little bit better prepared. For example we stayed in the tent until the sun was already shining and the temperature started to rise. So we had a nice breakfast in the sun,…
After our last warm night in Göteborg we started the day with breakfast in our flat. Then we cleaned the mandatory stuff of the apartment and prepared the bikes. We had our bicycles in front of our door at the second floor. There was no elevator. Therefore, we had to carry the bikes down, followed by a lot of up-…
After two tough tours with each around 100 km we needed some rest time. Furthermore, we wanted to have some time to wash clothes, buy some gear and wash the bikes. And of course we planned to visit Göteborg with a bit more time. We were quite lucky with the weather on the first day. It still felt a bit…
The night at the camping ground in Frillesås was cold again. Not freezing cold but still cold enough to wake up. We wanted to get up at 7 in the morning. The sun was already shining but it was still very cold. So we stayed in the tent and checked our options for today. In the end we decided to…
In Falkenberg we had two very nice and chilled rest days. On the first day we walked along the river Ätran to the center of the city. We saw a lot of birds (mostly ducks - some of them fighting!). In the center we did a little sightseeing tour where we visited a church, a little art park and the…
