Another interesting and fun filled day.   I woke up today somewhere on the Baltic sea on a ferry between Germany and Sweden.   We arrived on time and shortly thereafter I rode down the ramp with all the 18 wheelers.   It was fun,  but not a place I could pull over and get a good shot.

Next I rode 20 miles or so from the ferry landing to Malmo.   It was fabulous riding through rural Sweden,  watching farmers head to the fields and kids on the way to school.   The landscape looked just like home.   The roads were slightly rolling and the felt like I easily could be in the upper Midwest.

After navigating to Malmo,  it was very easy to catch a train to Copenhagen.   I got off the train at the airport,  so I could check out  the status of my FedEx shipment package.   My niece, Kristy was kind enough to ship supplies that I left at her home to pack and ship my bike.  Unfortunately, although the package has been in Copenhagen since last weekend, the economy package has not been sorted and is not available.   The service agent assured me that it should be available tomorrow,  which means another 15 mile round trip to the airport.   Oh well,  the weather is expected to be fine and I have never been hurt by a few extra miles.

The afternoon I kept busy riding around the town and taking in the obligatory tourist sites.   This is a beautiful, low key town.   What is not low key is the cycling.   The feel as I am in the pelaton at the Tour design France.   I would have liked to take a  photo,  but I was terrified to get out of the flow.   I actually went quite a bit out of my ways because I was afraid that to turn.   I was continually being passed by formidable Viking desended blonde women,  with baby seats on the back of their bicycles.   I was feeling pretty in shape after two weeks of touring,  but it is obvious that I still have work to do.
