Awoke late. Had breakfast and left Halmstad at 10:30 am. Mountain just before Angelholm was quite steep, but I managed to cycle through it. Arrived in Odakra about 3:30 pm. The drive through Strovelstorp, Hasslarp, and Fleninge was real nice.
Stig Johannson lives with his wife, his parents, and another family in this old, large, two story building. The Angelholm-Halsingborg train runs 10 feet from the house. When a train goes by, the whole house shakes. Bathed, ate, went out to see Helsingborg. Ate on returning and watched "Mission Impossible."
Mileage: Halmstad to Halsingborg 72 km, 45 miles
P.S. Send at least two Indian bead rosettes to Stig.

Awoke about 8 am. Breakfast of corn flakes, sandwiches, coffee. Rolf and his wife had already left for work, so I packed up and headed out. The new lower gear makes downhill faster, but I can't stay in it. Forgot the sandwiches she made for me.
Arrived in Halmstad at noon. Picked out a spot in what I thought was a desolate forest. Bought food, washed up and had lunch and dinner. I'm writing at the edge of the forest, next to a cliff from where I can see the entire town. On the dirt road leading into this forest have come many cars, including a police car, three girls running, an army soldier on a bike, elderly people strolling. I'm having a wild time guessing what's at the end of the road.
Took a walk down the road. Apparently this is a park, a large, natural refuge. There seems to be a military firing range nearby. Went into town to see a little more of it. Couldn't find the ocean, as hard as I searched.
