Linkoping, Sweden<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Heading out of town, we continued on the gravel trail beside the canal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Part of the bike trail is a bike ferry up part of the canal to a lake.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We then went on a lovely one-lane country road.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh look! A house with BOTH red and yellow!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Is THIS it?!?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Um. Yes.<\/p>\n

Ok, the back entrance looks better.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And it’s totally cute inside!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh, and there’s a greeter cat named Puma!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Went down town to see the sights and have dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then we went to what we translated as Church Garden. I LOVE gardens! … It was a cemetery. Not the plantings we had anticipated…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
