I will explain the pictures from yesterday. The picture of the airport is Amsterdam. It was crummy weather and I was happy that I didn't have to be there for very long. That and flying in I realized how flat it is there. After Oskar picked me up, we stopped at the Swedish Mtb Nationals. As it turns out there are not that many people that mountain bike here. However, the top guys are very competitive in world cup races. The one picture is the winner of the men's race, this is his website http://emillindgren.com/ He is on the Giant/Rabobank team and has some pretty impressive results. The field in the men's race was only around 40 guys. The other picture is of the set up at the event and as you can see it is not very big.
I found it funny, the restaurant we ate at is called Pizzeria Hawaii. It seems that the Swedes have an obsession for Hawaii. It is also ironic that pizza, which is obviously Italian, would be labeled as American because of the crust...We ate Kebab's from there. They are not kabaabs by any means. These are sandwiches. I have attached two pictures (for you Hammie!). One is the sandwich which is around 8-10 inches in diameter and the other is of the meat used in the sandwich. It is cooked by spinning it and they shave it off for the sandwich. They are really good!
We have started traveling south with Oskar's parents. We will sleep on a ferry tonight and when we wake up in the morning we will be in Germany.
