Day 24 - Into the heartland

What a beautiful place Kolboda is, we sat outside on the frozen ground and ate our breakfast by the lake with the winter sun coming up, fantastic!


                                                                 It was quite cold today!
So as we mentioned earlier we had thought about taking another route as our planned route up the coast was not too hot for hostels and the idea of having to camp every night in this freezing weather was not appealing. So today we started our route inland. The detour would mean a few extra miles but at least we could be guaranteed a night in a hostel and that made us happy.

We were also drastically cutting back on the miles, we are exhausted and did we mention cold, goodness it's freezing. Today's route was taking us to Orrefors, the route was short the roads were quiet and we swished along, before we knew it we were at our lunch stop and it was only 11 am! We came off the main road after buying our lunch and had the most beautiful ride through the woods on super sleek roads with no one on them, yeee-hah! Before we knew it we had arrived at our destination. We were staying in a little cosy hut again, not quite as cute as Göken but lovely none the less, and they had a TV room, so after a walk round the village we settled down to watch a few episodes of the Simpsons. Ah now this is living.


We were a bit scared in our hut that night as we were the only people staying there and we kept hearing cars drive past in the night, but of course we were fine.

We did about 40 miles today, a good rest for the old legs.
