Oslo - Göteborg day 5 😁
The day started quite good with live action of the lock system letting boats up the river but this was a special one as they built a water bridge back in 1865 crossing the main river (videos 5-6 + photo 7).
We quickly understood that this would be a windy day and with 13m/s of side and head wind the battle had begun 🙈😆 but at least there was sun and beautiful nature.
Then in the middle of nowhere halfway into our day I heard a noise coming from my bike. One of my spokes had decided to go on a solo trip and before we knew it the day changed.
After some unsuccessful attempt to hitchhike we eventually had to call a cab to take me to a bike shop at our destination of the day while
@nico_americo continued the journey by bike.
A chat with my lovely cab driver and a bit at the bike shop the mechanic eventually had to drive to one of their other shops to retrieve a new spoke which will be fixed the day after.
As I was walking back with my bike towards the camping I couldn’t stop smiling as the freedom and adventure hit me hard. Man I love this life and I’ve missed it tremendously
