Istanbul to Stockholm

I’m raising the bar — extending my swim from Istanbul to Cadiz all the way to Stockholm, following the Atlantic coastline and later Danmark and sweden for around some extra 8000 kilometers. It's an 11 year project. Read more

A gang of young guys walked by and asked me what I was doing so I explained but I'm doing.
After a while they came back and they had fixed some muscles for me to cook in the evening lovely.
My tent is pretty good hidden from the beach so I think I will have a good night without any hesitations.Read more

I was checking in the app if the campsite would be open and it was opened according to the App.
When I reach it here it's fast closed.
I put up my tent anyway in the shadow under the trees that I've been missing for so long.
I went to the supermercado it was like 1 km to walk. I bought 15 liters of water to Bears up with the wine coffee and 15 package of third in fasta be squats and dadels and racing and peanuts.
They were so nice so they offered me transport homes I have to sit back on the Vespa.
It must be the outer border of the European Community because the helicopters is flying two and two or six and six back and forth along the coast all day long.Read more

It looks a bit difficult going forward with these Greek laws that you can't camp wherever you want. I think I'll recreate GO FUND ME so I can handle unplanned expenses. According to Google Maps there should be two grocery stores here that should be open, as usual both were closed. I was lucky that there was a beach club but it was really expensive there. I was sponsored for two bottles of water anyway. That's what I was looking for. I swam as fast as I can with the bags this morning when I only had 1.5 liters of water as a cargo, very little it can be upwards of 16 liters and 21 the other day. I think I've found a perfect camping spot here, I shouldn't be bothered by anyone.Read more

I'm lucky that the restaurant was open since I didn't have any food left in my bag.
I will stay here until Tuesday morning since I am waiting for A friend Maria to arrive. To my surprise the restaurant has opened today and it's perfect. During the heavy rain during the night, I worked on a solution for my sunroof. I will make it when I am back in Sweden..Read more

It was a brutal cost so many stones and no place to put the tent down by the sea because there's Rocks Stones all over On the high ground I found a place to set my tent.
It would have been perfect in the shade under the trees but there were far too many ant nests to be restful.Read more

But on the other side of the fences in the private ground there are trees. To see is still not clear after the rains. I love to walk to the restaurant but I don't care to leave my stuff on guarded.Read more

This campsite is so clean and nice in my eyes it is perfect after what I have previously encountered during the trip.

Bought myself a camping chair. Will try to put it above my bag when I swim.

I was really tired after 5,000 m today because it against the wind and then I came ashore and man came walking..
He asked me what I'm doing I told him that I am swimming from Istanbul to Spain. It cost a couple of hundred meters to the restaurants and to the toilet so I asked him if he could help me with my bags and he did.
When I have changed and put on my I went to check out the toilet because I wanted to know if I could clean my laundry there. Guess what happened I got showed up he leaves just beside the toilets and things and it said you can wash your things in my laundry machine. And then they served me a delicious lunch with all kind of stuff so really pleased and. He has offering me to sleep on the floor, but I don't know because I wake up so much time in the night and I want to have some privacy. even.Read more

I had a great swim this morning with tailwind.
And I'm so happy I found shelter behind some bushes on the beach from the wind.
This is the first Town I've been in without minarets.
I went to the market and bought some tuna fishing cans and macaroons.
In the shop there is very much more alcohol than food.
So I bought myself some beers.Read more
