Stockholm

It is the last morning in Copenhagen. Ramis and I start off late and we go the train station together. He plans to cycle to Oslo, while I am forced to spend a few hours in Malmö, due to many trains being booked out. 

The weather this far north is rainy and I am thankful to be taking the train today. 

I arrive in Stockholm near midnight. Not to worry here "allemansrätten" (all man's right) means that camping is allowed all over Sweden, as long as your tent is more than 150m from private residences. After some online research, I find a park near the city centre where it is allowed to camp. However, early the next morning, a chirpy park cleaner informs me that this is not valid in that park and I needed to move on. 

I head off to my Couchers' host, Dale. It's my first stay with a Couchers.org host and it works out well. Dale has a very nice apartment near the city centre and is generous and hosts very often. He has lots of free time as he is on holidays and happy to hang out the rest of the day. 

The next day I explore Stockholm. Specifically, I try to find social projects, public libraries and bike cooperatives. It is difficult to have a bikepacker's budget in Sweden, as is very expensive and even a simple coffee is more than 5€.
