Mariestad on the beautiful still sunny morning.

One thing you might expect to see on a run in Sweden:

A stray orienteering flag hanging on a fence, looked like someone forgot to collect it

One thing you would not expect to see on a run in Sweden

A cricket pitch

Checked out Lysekil, Fiskebackskil & Grundsund on the west coast of Sweden, beautiful sunny day, light winds, nice quite roads and winding paths though the forest. Picturesque villages, that felt like the should be movie sets, and the ferry man told us to watch out for Salt Lake coming out in August, hopefully it will make the PIAF Movies at the Somerville.

Got back from the bike ride and then headed out to explore the trails on the headland west of the town. very nice pink granite with lots of ups and downs, lost the marked trail a few times so went boulder hoping and tried to follow the coast. Definitely felt and looked like the way I imagine Swedish coast line with numerous rocky bays and little islands, lots of boats, sail and power moving around in the sunshine. People sunbaking on the rocks, in deck chairs and anywhere they could lie down and absorb the rays.

Lots of walking around Copenhagen getting value for the Copenhagen Card. Did the boat trip in drizzle then the Palace, Thorvaldsens Museum which has a fabulous collection of sculptures, Tivoli gardens, Design Museum, Round Tower over two days.

Left lots for another year

Heading for Sweden tomorrow via a castle
