| Chris one day before Tallin |
I have seen it as Chris' job to update the blog once we got back (At the end of June!!!) But since he refused to do so. It is I, Karolina who will give you the shortest of short update.

So, as everybody already know, we have arrived at our destination!!!! Wow, it does not seem like such a big thing anymore since it was so long ago and it was always one day at a time... The last two days, the days in Sweden, were big and long, but rewarding. We arrived at 10 in the morning in Stockholm and tried to navigate our way out of the city, a task that took a lot of time and effort. We rode, got lost and eat our first Swedish kebab! Since it took so long to get on the right path, we had to ride for as long as possible once we found our way. We set up camp at midnight, riding though by the light of the summer sun, it was wonderful. Set our alarm for 4.30 and rode and rode and rode until we, after a long day, met my lovely sister, mum, Tobias, Edvin and saw Idun for the first time (she looked like a little man)! The last bit was nice and relaxing, surrealistic and so nice.
We have now been back for a long time and sitting in a warm house, with a snowstorm outside, Istanbul feel so far away.
We had a wonderful time on our trip and we are so excited to do so again.
Highlights of the trip were:
Istanbul and Turkey at large, such hospitable people and nice tea!
The first day in Bulgaria, (DOWNHILL)
our first 100km day
Our first climb (up Transylvania)
Hungarian baths/hotsprings!
SLOVAKIA, beautiful (Chris really enjoyed the mountains)
Vilnius, wonderful place with lots of culture and a relaxed atmosphere.
The open rodes of Latvia
The last days in Estonia, riding next to the ocean and in a national park AND on a bike path all the way into Tallinn!!!!
Arriving in Sweden, mostly Pershyttan.
Thanks for all the help and support! And thanks to our wonderful friends, the Hopkins' who got us on to this amazing way of traveling!
