  • Day 7 – Hanging out around Halmstad

    After a great nights sleep, we rode out of the sandunes and along a forested section of trail towards the town of Halmstad. Here we crossed the River Nissan and rolled into the old town square where a friendly lady showed us how to operate the public drinking water pump so we could fill our Read more

  • Day 6 – Tennis at Båstad

Making the most of our last ‘indoor luxury’ area for a while, we did our final bits of packing and enjoyed a Read more
