The car all full with our bikes and bags
Finally after 13 hours travel we made it to sweden. it all started at 4am, getting up sooooo early and getting ready to leave by 5am. Having breakfast at this time was a bad idea but l did it and suffered the rest of the day. we left the house with our goodbyes and andres dad drove us while andre talked to him to keep him awake and l just relaxed in the back and slept, well tried to. it was about 480kms there with 2 stops. it rained and was shiny then rained some more. we arrived at the ferry dock 2 hours early and andres dad wanted to show us a habour he knew near by. but unfortunely there was 2 things happening in town which made it very crowded, one was the museum having a birthday thing and the other was that it was harbour day and everyone was at the habour. so we left and went back to the ferry dock to get ready. we took our bikes off and packed the bags on to it. we said goodbye to thomas and rode through to wait in line to go on the ferry. we got to

our bikes all packed up and ready for our adventure
push in line to get to the front, because we were on bikes. once on board it reminded me of the NZ interislander ferry but not as big and not as much stuff in it. but comfy none the less. it was a 4 hour boat ride and andre slept for half of it while l made a thread braclet for him. we arrived and found our hosts and they took us to their home. we had dinner and then went to the local beach and had a quick dip, and l meant a very quick dip, it was sooooo cold. it has been an exuasting but rewarding trip so far. tomorrow we go site seeing. l am having an awesome time in Sweden. miss you all...
