On the road at 9:15, through Copenhagen, a tunnel, then bridge to Malmo, Sweden. Sweden is even slower driving than Denmark. Speed limit is 110kph. Rain all the way to Göteborg. Tourism office, they find me a room at someone's house. Another lady renting rooms...We run all over the block trying to find a way to get the motorcycle into the garage underneath the building. A car comes out of the garage and she stands in front of the electronic eye to keep the door open while I run out and bring the bike around. Tak! (thanks). About the extent of my Swedish. Greta gets a night in a warm and safe parking spot. Dinner is a dönner, get on the internet, walk around checking out the sites. Gothenburg is a lot smaller than the image I had of it in my mind.
