Sylv was cycling on her flat tyre and was getting frustrated, we stopped to look at the map again and to check her tyre. She spotted the problem the inner tube blow out had ripped part of her tyre and the wires inside were showing, oh this was worse than we thought. It was 11 by now so I called the bike shop to check that they would have a tyre and could fit it that day. Unasigned number flashed up on the phone, I tried again and again but to no avail. In our lostness we had spotted another bike shop that promised to be open the next day from 10. As our hands and feet started to freeze again and the grey clouds rolled in, we wound back through the town to the hostel. Any room I asked to the smiling receptionist, of course you are so welcome he replied. He had just finished telling all thr other other hostel staff about our trip.
So we had a free day in a very beautiful town, lucky us. We warmed up and put on our lounge clothes, made a packed lunch and hit the streets. There was a free ferry to be caught.
Hey said some familiar voices, Frances and Jannes joined us on the ferry crossing. We got to Aspö and spent a lovely hour (in the pouring rain) walking around and looking at the beautiful summer houses and the swimming spot. Then after our sandwhiches went back to the mainland where we said our final goodbyes to our German friends.
They'd tipped us off that the marine museum was a great place and as I had now realised I have a slight obsession with all things nautical we went along. It was great, really good displays and interesting information, finished off with a lovely hot chocolate. Uber nice.
We headed home and had a relaxing sunday dinner.
