Last view over the area from the mountain peak.

Our room had no air condition so we slept with an open window. Part of the Motel was also a 24h gas station and some car wash. From time to time there was loud noise and we hadn’t a good sleep. However, to avoid the heat in the afternoon we stood up early and had breakfast at our room. Afterwards…

Sundown over lake Vänern seen from the campsite near Mariestad.

Main parts of our kitchen equipment while bicycle travelling.

If you are on your bike and have to climb tough mountains you will be happy about every gramm less to carry with you. I think we all align on that 😉.
