Day 27: Göta-Kanal to Tåtorp

This morning started with pushing my boat past the Sjötorp locks. There are seven locks over a distance of 1.5 km. Only then did I get in the boat and get out and back in again before the next one... There are quite a few. In total I passed through 15 locks today and paddled under 12 bridges. At first it looked as if it was about to rain, but it stayed dry the whole time and in the afternoon the sun and clouds bathed everything in a wonderful light and I drove straight to Tåtorp. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and who knows how far I will get then. But it is definitely autumn! Here with the deciduous trees the autumn colors are even more noticeable. I hope for more nice days, but it has definitely gotten colder! Going around the locks by boat was no problem, although the banks are usually secured with sharp stones and the moorings are too high for canoes, but I always somehow found a way.

It is sometimes "boring" on the canal, but sometimes not at all and a dream in the sunshine.... It is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow, so I am quite happy about the shelter here at the lock, but it will probably be the last one (shelter)..
And: I saw an otter and a "beavercastle"...もっと詳しく
