Entering Småland


For this first day biking in Sweden, we wear t-shirts and short pants, for the first time of the year ! Olof is riding with us for the departure, to get sure we are on our way, wich, helpfully, leads us to a nice bike way along the coast with beautiful landscapes.


Some signs are still misleadingly missing, but we then take the road with quite peaceful drivers.
Olof leaves us once on Fjärås road that soon goes accross the forest, up and down...

Olof, thank you !


We arrive a bit tired at Kinna, where Daniel and Emi warmly welcome us. For diner, we have a "cheese fondue", and enjoy speaking french with our hosts until late in the evening.

Daniel, Emi, thank you !

We leave Daniel and Emi quite early and proceed all day long to some lakes where we hope to pitch the tent. With still a warm sun, some get sunburns.

Pine smell is everywhere, we are in tree's realm !


Every now and then, we find a lake (or marsh) and start to feel a bit lonely some times.


After climbing a lot of small hills, we settle after 75km on the shore of a calm lake, with still several hours of sunlight.
 
Same next day : nice weather, fir trees everywhere, and not flat at all but going down to Jonköping, a calm city on the shore of Vattern lake.
