Day 20 and I find a little bit of paradise on the wee island of Malo

A great day cycling. I made for the coast and passed through some beautiful countryside. At Lysekil I took the ferry to the Islands of Fiskebockkskil, Flaton and Malo, where I stayed at a sweet little camp site.

The beautiful island of Malo

This is how it used to be

That's a big shed

My trusty steed

Fellow traveller, stopped for a chat

This is what the road is like around here... forest and hills

A guy from Edinburgh asked me for directions here...he had been in Haddington last week

Day 14: The rain comes down and I take ferries from Risor and Stabbestad

At Risor I  encounter the first serious rain of the tour and my wee tent stands up well to it. I'm back on the ferries again but they are tiny compared to the ferries I used on my way to Stavanger.

The ferry was like a bus, people were dropped off at their house

Wild camping - this was a very nice spot

Always take your own rubbish with you and I also took at least one piece of someone else's rubbish as well
