Hollviken to Malmo – 28 miles.
Total distance cycled – 1200 miles.
On this journey I have turned into a beautiful swan, grown up from a little dwarf, found the golden egg, put on real clothes and turned into the handsome Prince you now see!
What do you think I need to complete the fairytale journey! Well, all I need is my ‘Little Mermaid’ called Janice.
She is a day away and we will meet in Copenhagen tomorrow.
Meanwhile I have a short ride into Malmo. I was concerned that it would be an anticlimax….but it wasn’t at all.
I entered Malmo and I knew that there was more to see.
It have hardly mentioned that the cycling infrastructure through the whole trip has been amazing. For the whole route I would say that I have been on dedicated cycle paths for 90% of the time. Potholes are unheard of. Cycling is a mainstream activity for everyone. It’s been a fabulous cycling experience.
Arriving in the city felt special.
Having mentioned the fermented herring yesterday called ‘surstromming’. I felt I needed to visit the Disgusting Food Museum!
But….there was a tasting session which included silkworm, mealworms, black ants, bamboo worms, durian and the dreaded surstromming! It was truly awful. I followed it by the chilli test. I only managed the first chilli before I ‘retired hurt’ but I could still taste the bloody herring!
Here is a little test… what do you think this is?
I headed off to find my hotel to give my stomach a rest.
Actually I am giving my legs a rest too.
After 4 weeks of riding and 1200 miles they will enjoy a relax. It is certainly an achievement that I have thoroughly enjoyed.
I will do a review post in a day or two. My next priority is getting to Copenhagen and seeing my own ‘Princess’.
I better tell you what was in the photo. It was Sheep’s Eyeball in tomato juice….mmm!
