Deixo aqui relato do meu irmão que se encontra em viagem pelo norte da Europa.
6 DE JUNHO DE 2011- DepartureFinally after a few drawbacks we are ready to go.
Weather is nice and we hope it stays like that.
6 DE JUNHO DE 2011- End of the dayA 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.
7 DE JUNHO DE 2011- CopenhagenA 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.
10 DE JUNHO DE 2011- 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
12 DE JUNHO DE 2011 - Norway at lastWe 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...
12 DE JUNHO DE 2011 - Picture of the day...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.
14 DE JUNHO DE 2011- UpdateA few pictures taken last couple of days.
Testing the two beers which are brewed at the most northern brewry.
Some landscapes seen yesterday and today.
Last picture is the view from our tent this evening.
The landscapes are realy imposing and beautifull...
