Well it is more like yesterday but nevertheless all this, for one picture... or maybe one picture that tells a whole story.
Anyway now it's time to head down to civilization again.

Norway at last
We left Stockholm on friday morning and headed north where the beutifull landscapes started. Lesa and less signs o Man and more wilderness. The highways ended but also the traffic. We spend that night on a camping site in Sikea Hamn just a few meters from the sea and offering a stunning view. Only downside where the mosquitos...
Yesterday we had the first rain since we entered Sweden, but it only lasted 5 minutes. We crossed to Finland in the afternoon and arrived in Norway to pass the night in a cosy Motell. We also encountered wildlife for the first time - reindeer. As we move north the landscapes are getting wilder,and we had the most beautifull landscape untill now in the few km we did in Norway yesterday...
Weather is getting colder now - they say for today between 3 and 11, and on a bike that's cold...
Today's objective is less than 400 km away so we hope we can make it without freezing...

Norkopping and finally Stockholm
On wednesday we left Copenhagen and headed to Sweden. It was a good day to ride (first one without rain) and we ended up in Norkopping where we tested the camping equipment - not bad.
Yestrday it was a short ride to Stockholm where we spent the afternoon. Very nice city, the nicest so far. We decided to pass the night in a very nice Hostel on a boat - probably one of the last nights on a bed for some time probably.
We are now heading for the north - into the wild... So we don't know when we will have access to internet again to update the logbook

Copenhagen
A few pictures taken during today. First one arriving in Danmark with the ferry.
We finally arrived in Copenhagen in the afternoon and took an "inexpensive" room in the downton Hostel - well, at least we have a bed, or even two...
Last picture taken in the Hostel "bar" where we tested the local beers.
We had a couple of rain periods but otherwise cloudy weather. Nice to ride a bike as it's not too hot nor too cold.
Today we managed to make a little over 500km what is nice. The Austrian masseuse is not as gentle as she could be but we made a 300km stage with "only" 16 liters of fuel, not bad.

End of the day
A quick picture taken on the first stop in Germany, when the weather was still nice...
After a lot of rain, 400km and a million bugs killed we have decided to call it a day and pass the night in an Hotel.
The Austrian masseuse is doing well so far, surely not as comfy as a 2 wheel car, but at least you don't forget you are riding a bike. And surely knows how to put a smile on your face.

Mais uma voltinha
Mais umas das super viagens....
Saída de LIS, destino CDG (Charles de Gaulle international airport), voo da easy jet- U23756 , baratinho mas sem lugares marcados, como não gosto de ficar de pé a aguardar o embarque acabamos por ficar em lugares separados. Saída as 1405 , ETA 1740 lt , chegamos as 1730, terminal 2 , para quem não sabe CDG tem três terminais. com shutle entre eles, mais o menos como Lisboa com terminal 1 e 2 mas à escala francesa (com parque em todos eles, cá esqueceram-se).
Saimos no terminal 2F , ai existe um shutle (autocarro) que circula entre todos os terminais 2 (a sul) no centro destes tem-se a estação central com TGV , comboio e RER, e o CGDVAL ( shutle por levitação automático e gratuito que liga todos os terminais e todos os parques com uma grande frequência. (demoramos algum tempo a entender o esquema) la seguimos para terminal 2 a fim de chegar a estação de autocarros (terminal 3). mas como os planos mudam mais rápido que o vento, no terminal 3 ponderou-se alugar carro depois de algumas peripécias e alguns mal entendidos chegamos a conclusão que aluguer de carros só no terminal 1 , la seguimos de shutle para terminal 1 .
Rapidamente isso se revelou muito má ideia (preço 150€), não parece opção para 1 dia, da próxima lição aprendida reservar com antecedência....daaaaa
De volta terminal 3 e aguardar o autocarro, mais pouco de seca, la seguimos em direcção a Senlis
estação de Senlis (autocarro para em frente)
Mala de Cartão (não resisti ) ahhahaahah
bem e la ficamos em Senlis, sem jantar, a 7 km do hotel, e a pé ....
solução ... Táxi 25 por 7 Km , baratinho, já dava para trocar o F1 por um Ibis ou qualquer outro um pouco melhor ....
Bem a porra do F1 ficava no meio do nada, nem um restaurante, um bar, nada , 2 ruas com meia dúzia de casas.... :(
solução comer uns chocolates da maquina automática, comer a sandes de atum que ainda andava na mala (provável intoxicação alimentar que não se veio a verificar ), o recepcionista la explicou que a única possibilidade era encomendar piza pelo telefone ...
Devia ser da fome mas aquela pizza soube muito bem (a sandes de atum também, ate deu para esquecer o 4 m2 do quarto e as casas de banho no corredor)
dia 2 -
Acordar as 0800 (era suposto), .... este gajo.... desde as 0730 as 0830.... dassss ja percebo porque que chegas todos os dias ou trabalho as 11 ...maus hábitos....
ainda teve a lata de dizer ao taxista (que teve de esperar) que nos tínhamos atrasado porque tenho uns hábitos de sono... (aguarda resposta)
Levantar o carro atestar, verificar óleo agua pressão pneus etc, seguir em direcção a Chanteloup-les-Vignes, ( Antiga morada do Ivo)
Mas aquele gajo consegue não seguir as instruções do GPS, e acabamos 10:27 enfiados nos subúrbios de Paris, Épinay-sur-Seine , tínhamos de estar em ás 17 (16 ) em Toulousee, tínhamos de seguir viagem directamente, 674km em 6 horas o problema é atravessar Paris a esta hora. o GPS dava ...
ETA: 1628 , quando abandonamos o Periferique estávamos atrasados 40 minutos mas conseguimos adiantar e alguns telefonemas (muitos) resolveram o problema.
Toulouse, abastecer e ir ás compras.... mais uma historia, para ir á casa de banho no supermercado, tivemos de trocar a chave da Wc pela chave do carro... e ainda assim parecia que nos estavam a fazer um grande favor (estes franceses passam-se)...
Almoçar...(cedinho) descomprimir um pouco... e decidimos ir dormir a Biarritz , chegamos ja tarde... procurar hotel ...mais umas voltinhas.... daaaaa
jantar, e tentar conhecer a cidade....
praia, casino (iluminado)
Dois juremas
Dia 3
No dia seguinte acordar bem tarde, compras para almoço da viagem, e um tour pela vila...
super hotel ....hahaaha o mais barato :)
a partir de agora foi non stop até casa,
chegada por volta das 1800.
