Morning Ride
I just went for a short ride on my mountain bike. It’s a beautiful morning, partly cloudy and not yet too warm with maybe around 18 to 20C. Still, I went out in shorts and short sleeves and it felt a bit chilly on the first metres – those of you who know me will…

Sunshine in Sweden
I have arrived at my destination in southern Sweden (Jönköpings län) just shortly after noon. It’s been a nice drive up from Malmö, where I arrived early this morning.

The German who went up a mountain and came down…
No, wait, that’s not it…!? But I went out for a hike with his morning. Took the bus from them campsite to the base station of the mountain railway. But instead of taking the easy way up as three years ago, I went for the hike all the way up to the top station. Quite…
