Following the canal

Wednesday, July 30, 2025

Linkoping, Sweden

I was feeling better today. We had a lovely breakfast at the hotel and hit the road. Riding down the main walk along the canal I found out how great it is to a have a bell on the bike. There were about 8 people across the path. One little DING from my bell and they all turned at once and swiftly moved over so we could pass.

Heading out of town, we continued on the gravel trail beside the canal.

Part of the bike trail is a bike ferry up part of the canal to a lake.

We then went on a lovely one-lane country road.

Oh look! A house with BOTH red and yellow!

Made it to Linkoping before 4 pm. It’s a relatively big city compared to the cute little towns we were in the previous nights. We searched for our Airbnb.

Is THIS it?!?

Um. Yes.

Ok, the back entrance looks better.

And it’s totally cute inside!

Oh, and there’s a greeter cat named Puma!

Went down town to see the sights and have dinner.

Then we went to what we translated as Church Garden. I LOVE gardens! … It was a cemetery. Not the plantings we had anticipated…
