Sept 3 - Varnamo, Sweden

Awoke late. Stopped for breakfast at an Esso service station south of Jonkoping. Pushed hard into Varnamo. The sky clouded up again. Looks like wet weather ahead.

Arrived in Varnamo about 11:30 am. Got a map at a service station and found my way to the Andersson's in time for lunch. He is a music instructor. They have two daughters and one son. The eldest is a 19 year old boy working from 6:30 to 5:30. Their 16 year ad 10 year old daughters are still in school.

We biked down to the four-times-a-year market downtown, much like a carnival or circus. Walked through downtown and the parks. Had dinner of spaghetti and sausages. Took a night walk through this part of the city. Wrote letters and retired.

Mileage: Jonkoping to Varnamo 72 km, 45 miles.

Sept 2 - Jonkoping, Sweden


Awoke early and packed up. Had a wonderful breakfast of fish, sausage, and marmalade sandwiches, coffee, and cornflakes. Left for Jonkoping. The sky is clear and driving here along the water's edge is beautiful. Although I'm not supposed to be on this superhiway, it's a good road.

I seem to be the only bicycle. Arrived in Jonkoping and put up my tenet in the triangle formed by the intersection of three hiways. Went into town, then went to sleep.

Mileage: Omberg to Jonkoping 76 km, 48 miles
