some 300 kilometers and a lot of picnics later...
We are back in Umeå, we are safe and so are our bikes! Not a single flat tyre, no injuries, no sore muscles at ALL... (thank you Björn from Red Cross who educated us in First Aid and left us with the words: "Hope you will never need this knowledge")
Well... from Ånäset we were at least closer to Skellefteå than Umeå. A small comfort for everyone who could feel they had a bottom.
ICA in Ånäset supported us with food, so we could have breakfast and picnic along the 66 km left to Skellefteå :)
Then we turned left towards Kålaboda....
Were we met this lovely grandparents of Maria "Lennart" Jylkää and Kakada who treated us to the best fikapaus we ever had! Kanelbullar, chocolate cookies and sockerkaka, coffee and saft made energy flow and 40 minutes later we had all the focus we needed to reach Hjoggböle!
And what on earth is better than a bbq in a lovely norrländsk byhåla (village gap) in the middle of nowhere, Hjoggböle that is, after having cycled 50 km? Therese was chicken grill master and Kakada did the flower picking. We say: what else do you need?
Well lots of picnics we have had! Sometimes we were tired, sometimes we didn't have energy to talk, sometimes all we did was laughing, some were filled with "Gott & Blandat", others with pancakes. But all of them were well needed, very memorable and made this trip the best one ever!
Here we are, somewhere around Southern Gummark (for those who have no clue where that is - get a map! - it is somewhere between Raggvaldsträsk and Skellfteå)
