Day: 3
Km ridden: 350
Current location: Malmö - Sweden
Twix's consumed: 1

Firstly, sorry that yesterday's post was mostly a rant against German drivers.  It was a bit of a mad day yesterday however it was an excellent excuse to gloss over the fact that I sort of screwed up with the hotel booking in Copenhagen.  Well, i say Copenhagen, but we actually ended up a long way from it. 

The story goes that whilst still in bed after having woken up in Hanover, I pulled up the laptop and went looking for hotels that evening.  In my tired state I didn't actually check everything properly.....  So, once the Credit card had been given over, and we're on our way, slowly the signs for Copenhagen vanished, but the sat nav said that we still had about 30km to go.  We ended up in the (one horse) town of Gentofte.  A town which even the dead think is boring.

This morning after waking up, we knew that the next stop is Sweden, but exactly where was not as yet decided.  We drove up in the sun to the town of Helsingor to take the 15 minute ferry over to Helsingborg in Sweden.  After a quick smoke stop we are now in the small city of Malmö.  It's actually not that bad here.  It seems the fashion at the moment is for as little fabric as possible, so in sadly far too many cases, there is far too much flesh on show.  It appears that more than one of the local ladies has been at the pickled herring again....

Still, the people seem friendly, even if the language is totally incomprehensible.

Tomorrow we're finally going to give all that camping gear we brought with us a go.  We're riding over to the island of öland on the baltic coast to pitch up and try and cook a full meal for 2 on the worlds smallest gas grill.

I know that this blog has so far not been as filled with as many pictures of these far flung shores as we would have liked, but we will try to change that soon.
