Day 33: Söderköping

Today was another beautiful day of my tour! After a night with a lot of train noise and frost, I paddled the last part of the Göta Canal today.
First I went through the canal again, then over the Asplången and back into the canal, where first a few, then several locks in a row awaited me and required me to portage/bypass. The sun again showed itself in the blue sky and it was a real pleasure to paddle through autumn-colored Sweden. Admittedly, portaging is always annoying because the boat first has to be mostly unloaded, then pushed out of the water, put on the cart and the luggage has to be packed into the boat using the trolley. And then the whole thing has to be returned on the other side... What is particularly annoying is that there are few suitable places to load and unload. The canal company should do some work on that... The destination of Söderköping is also really pretty, with old wooden houses and beautiful buildings, as well as lots of nature all around.... I decided to end my tour here... See the next footprint!Read more
