500 plus miles a day for three days finds WombatsKhan in Umea, North Sweden. We left Kangakhann this morning as they headed off to catch a ferry across the Baltic, we headed North toward Finland.
Last night we arrived at our pre booked B&B only to cut and run following a quick inspection of the accommodation, pretty bad to say the least, with a dark cellar (looked like fresh concrete in the floor, something recently buried, maybe) and suspect sheets and mold on most surfaces. Photo's on line must have been taken a 'few' decades ago. We decided to ask directions to a more suitable place at the local garage, only to discover the owner was related to the B&B operator in some way, and recommended the place we had just run away from. So we eventually found a camp site by a lake, and slept like the dead.
After waving off Kangakhann, team WombatsKhan then covered the 500 miles to Umea in North Sweden. We passed some glorious sights, huge pine forests, unending lakes and rolling green hills, but we saw no Elk, Bear or Blond Nordic.....
A good hotel bed for Wednesday night, before we venture into Finland. It's 11.20pm and daylight as we type this blog, but that won't stop us sleeeeeeping........
