Andy: 22 July

Wow! All day my eyes have gorged on spectacular Scandinavian landscapes. Blue skies all day long too, with vast unspoilt scenery. We tackled our first big monster hill today, it took a long time and was a good 3 times the size of anything we had covered before but once we reached the summit we experienced a euphoric state for a considerable period after. Zooming down at 45kmph singing the knight rider theme tune to myself, I was subsequently high-spirited for the whole afternoon.

The women here are also stunning...even the grotty tattoo-ridden ones look pretty good! Blondes everywhere. Its sweeeeeet. I have been left baffled as to why the vikings ever left such a nice place to go to the U.K. There must have been a lot of irate Viking rowers on those boats when they arrived on the shores of the north-east of england, unless they were just trying to avoid the scandinavian prices and pick up some cheap food and drink. We stayed with a very friendly Swedish family, the Havagårds, and had tea, Swedish cakes and barbequed bananas as we watched another amazing swedish sun set.
