The third Rune Stone along the way
Given that I’m still on NZ time I set off from Stockholm at 3:30 in the morning as the sun was beginning to lighten the sky and all car, truck and bus drivers were still in bed.
Now I had planned (in excessive detail) my route to Oslo over the next 10 days….. well those plans lasted 23 kms before the wind convinced me to head south towards either Halmstad or Malmo. Actually it was a wee bit more than the wind ‘cos I had be torn between the two options. The sky’s were blue but the wind was white capping the lakes and knee capping me whenever I turned into it. However, when with me it was wonderful.
Had also planned to do just a 50k cycle today, what with it being the first day but it ended up closer to 80 and my Garmin told me I would need 60 hours of recovery time. My body said, just a beer, thanks.
By the way can you imagine playing soccer on the pitch (above) after a beer or two?
Trosa Market Square
So I’m in Trosa on the coast. Which is a lovely quaint small town, or as the tourism blurb puts it “The picturesque town of Trosa, with its narrow alleys and charming shops, is a popular tourist destination. The low wooden building along Trosån to the outer pier contributes to this fact.” I think you have to have a lot of money to be here as well. But it is nice.
