During summer holiday season, even Swedish mainroads seem crowded. There are tourists everywhere. Admitedly a lot less than you would see on the main continent, but still, if you look for solitude as we do, the backroads are a much better choice.
On YouTube, you can see one of our rides on a backroad: https://youtu.be/QGox4usx2Fo
If you get out of the car into the woods
We are lucky – so far – and did not encounter too many of the bloodsucking inhabitants. Up to now, I caught only two ticks and a countable amount of mosquito bites as demonstrated on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XbjWdcdnv0Q
Friends at the seaside
Our route took us from the quiet lake to a friend’s house at the Swedish archipelargo on the western shore.
We spent some days together eating, hiking …
… and we enjoyed the scenery …
My partner filmed the panoramic view. You can watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wf8h1HapFIs
