Islands in the sun (mostly)



Well we have done from gothenberg to the Norwegian border via Bohusan islands. So beautiful. If God won gold star for designing the Norwegian fjords then this coast gets a highly commended. But the best way to visit them is by boat, then car then possibly kayak - but maybe not ideal by bike. There are a few good roads populated by speedy young Swedes in highly expensive fast cars. Scary. Good market opportunity for speed cameras ( see which side we are on at the moment!). Jill has had a couple of meltdowns - and some of them have been touchingly when I have been cut up by some truck, RV or  convertible Audi.
We found two quiet spots at Malo and then Valo (spot the pattern?). First by a lake - fell asleep to sound of waves lapping on the rocks. Second a small island - cheap room, humoungously expensive food, a rehearsal for Norway.
Yesterday there was a huge thunderstorm, which seems to have hatched every mosquito known to man. A new challenge ,especially for Jill as they prefer her, but then who doesn't?
Sorry no more pictures until we find safe computer.

  1. Your Latitude map says you are in Telemark, famous for what ?
    I cannot believe it would be an Audi driver who cuts you up - they are all good sorts
