Fredrikstad to Asa

Hot chocolate in hand and canvas (plastic) overhead, the perfect way to write this diary. We are now in Sweden, having ridden just 300km or 190miles. It’s incredibly beautiful here, although not as majestic as Norway, it feels as little more peaceful perhaps. We had a fabulous day with Merete and Storm again today, riding the twisty biking roads towards Sweden and then stopping at the Elgåfossen waterfall that straddles the border. Once across, we headed to Fjällbacka for an ice cream and to say our final goodbyes as we headed south and they returned north. Fjällbacka was an incredibly scenic coastal village with archetypal houses, coastline and even Swedes!

Now we are at a beach side camp site in Asa, heading to Copenhagen tomorrow. It has been sad to leave Norway but today has been brilliant and I’m beginning to appreciate the extent of this trip! Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Croatia here we come!!
