Travelling.

Come July I’ll be doing more travelling. Plane flight and hostel accomodations = booked. I plan on spending a good 3-4 days in Krakow enjoying meaty fare, affordable Polish porters, and hopefully some Miód Pitny (baltic mead) just to feel like a viking. Then I might go to Slovakia to eat more cheap food, Austria to look at mountains and eat ice cream, and Bavaria because Germany’s really cool. I don’t know if seeing Belgium (well, mostly their beer) would be feasible on my budget/timeframe, but man, that would be great as well.

I don’t speak (any of) the language in any of these countries, but I’ll look into basic Polish, Slovakian, and German phrases before I go. I’d also like to add that Wikitravel is an absolutely amazing tool for travel planning. I’ll never take a touristy vacation ever again without its (hopefully accurate) wisdom.

News and pictures from around town.

What have I been up to lately? For the most part, trying to get by on as little as possible – Stockholm ate up a surprising bit of this vacation’s budget. I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately, the highlights including Street Trash, North By Northwest, and of course, Meatballs. Here’s some pictures and news from the past few slow weeks.

TOTAL STOCKHOLM

Here’s assorted pictures from my four days or so in Stockholm.

Day 6. Gnesta to Stockholm.

Last day. It was supposed to be a short little morning cruise, but turned into a 60km frustration-fest. I arrived at 3pm, only about 5 hours later than I had hoped. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Day 5. Norrköping to Gnesta.

Rollin’ up the east side of Sverige.

Day 4. Rumma to Norrköping.

I made it to the east coast. You tend to do that when you RULE. Read more and see pictures by clicking on the link below.

Day 3. Vetlanda to Horn.

Day 3 had some monster hills. Very diverse. Chicken salads. Read and see pictures.

Bike Tour. Day 2.

I decided to keep going. Here’s what I saw between Loshult and Vetlanda.

Bike Tour. Day 1.

Obviously, my bike trip didn’t last for one day. I made it all the way to Stockholm. Click below to read about the first leg of the trip, from Lund to Loshult.
