Into Linkoping

We left Soderkoping at the traditional 10 am. The path out followed a canal with many locks (once three locks back to back!). The path dead-ended into a bicycle-specific ferry that took us 6 km through the canal to the other side.

After that the day followed meandering byways. The temperatures dropped today into the low 70s, with scattered clouds.

Except for the section of one-lane country road, we followed dedicated bicycle path all day.

Until the last 20 feet or so we didn’t have any problem finding our AirBnB. But we found our way in, got cleaned up, and road back into the city to explore and grab dinner. All told about 59 km. We saw 7 cycle tourists today, even being off Eurovelo 10.

Coping in Soderkoping

Soderkoping

I was still feeling bad – sinuses and chest bothering me – so I went to the apothecary in town where a very helpful pharmacist got me some allergy meds.

We strolled around the town, which has a cute pedestrian area along the main canal, which is active with lots of boats.

There is also a second canal that is mostly full of vegetation and some art, enjoyed by the local wildlife.

Rick hiked up to a scenic overlook while I watched boats going through a lock.
