Day 29: Mon 7 Aug: Sodertalje to Stockholm

Cycle: 43 km - Total so far: 1,369 km

Start time: 8:50am
Stop time: 12:30pm
Weather: fine and mostly sunny, 17 to 19deg 

While yesterday was a bit tough today was a breeze - relatively flat, dry and mostly sunny and, the main point to keep the girls happy, it was short! Struck some bike path works about 8km from our hotel that took a bit of creative navigating to get around but mainly a fairly straightforward run. Some nice scenery early but once we got closer to the city, like most big cities, it got a little industrial. 

Our room wasn't ready so we sat around, ate our on-board lunch and caught up on some admin. When our room was finally ready at exactly the prescribed time of 3pm (we think they did it on purpose), we unpacked, did some washing, had an LLD then met up with the others, including Mick and Kate, for pre-dinner drinks (bought at our favourite Swedish bottle shop – System Bolaget). Mick and Kate’s choice for dinner which was a very flash (and expensive) restaurant on the edge of the waterway a short walk from the hotel.

Day 45: Wed 23 Aug: Dubai to Singapore to Brisbane

Image
Start time: 1:30am (Dubai) Stop time: 12:30am (Brisbane) Weather: fine and hot (35deg) in Dubai Met up with Mick and Kate after walking off the plane and sadly said our goodbyes while walking to the transfer area. They had wisely decided to overnight in Dubai both ways to break up the long trip.  Took ages to get from where we disembarked in Dubai to the Emirates Lounge near our departure gate C15 (a new lounge for us). Had time for a bite to eat and something to drink and then off to our gate. Wendy and Greg boarded through the First Class line due to Wendy's FF Gold status. We were all loaded and ready to fly but the airport was very busy so we had to wait in a queue for about 20 minutes. The plane was absolutely chock-a-block full and as it was a fairly old 777-300, it was very tight and uncomfortable, made worse by a rough ride especially closer to Singapore and the tall chap who overflowed into Greg's seating area. The aircon was set either too hot or it couldn't...

The End: Reflections

We loved our tour in Scandinavia and the people we travelled with couldn't have been better. A big thank you to Mick, Kate, Ken and Maree. Greg always wanted to show Wendy where he'd toured years ago and have a look at some other places in the region so this is why were in Scandinavia. However, if you are considering doing a cycling tour in these countries here are a few pointers: 1. It is expensive, VERY EXPENSIVE, so do your sums carefully before you go. Greg was there in 2006 and didn't notice it that much; maybe because it was a "boys tour" and they weren't that fussy about where they stayed or ate. If you are camping and cooking your own meals, then it wouldn't be much more expensive than other parts of Europe. However, if you're staying in hotels and eating in restaurants be aware it will cost you. Examples, equivalent to in US$, hotels US$200 per night, glass of house wine US$10, main course at a normal restaurant US$26, cup of coffee US$5.  2...

Day 44: Tue 22 Aug 17: Copenhagen to Dubai

Image
Start time: 7am (Copenhagen) Stop time: 12 midnight (Dubai) Weather: some clouds and sun, 14 to 20deg (doesn't matter as we aren't riding)   We did not have to be at the airport till 12midday so no hurry with breakfast again this morning. Took us about an hour to clean (must be very clean for Oz Quarantine) and box the two bikes. We have a well drilled system and seeing we're using the same boxes and packaging it's dead easy. Greg has reinforced two QANTAS bike boxes and glued high impact foam inside to protect the vital "organs" of the bikes.  We then finished our packing in the room. This time we brought a small wheely suitcase each to make it easy to move around. Of course, all this only works if you fly in and out of the same airport and use the same hotel. Getting to the airport with a fairly large box each, in addition to a piece of luggage each can be problematic. Wendy asked the reception to book the same maxi cab (4 bike boxes, luggage and fou...
