Tag 4 - Kalmar-Växjö

After another excellent night and a mediocre breakfast, we saddle up our iron steeds and start the navigation system. Växjö is our destination for today. One last look from our hotel room, and off we go.

According to the navigation system, we have 142 KM ahead of us today. So we have a very large time window for sufficient breaks and other spontaneities. We decide to go to Öland before we continue on our actual route.

What can be said about the island? There is a road from north to south, which is rather boring to drive on. We are drawn to Borgholm, let's see what it looks like off the main road. When we arrive in Borgholm, we are greeted by many small roads with typical Swedish houses and a pedestrian zone. Unfortunately, we are a bit early and many shops are not yet open. There is not much going on here before 11:00.

We now decide to continue on our route and leave Öland. Once on the mainland, we briefly pass through Kalmar and disappear inland. Fascinating - we are driving on the country road, surrounded by forest on both sides. It feels like we are the only ones on this road. We stop and stretch our legs on the road... no one is coming. You could probably take a nap on this road. So I lay down and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Okay, we want to continue, there must be something else here besides a road that is only used by us?! After a short time, we realize that not much is happening here. But there were signs on the side of the road that pointed to a bathing spot. Looking for the next sign, we continue. And there it was... next right and then at some point....! But wait, what's this? In front of us is a motorcyclist's paradise. A road that is also rarely used, where it only goes left, right, up and down. This is going to be fun. With a kick on the shift lever, we signal to our steeds that the cruising mode is over. It's time to lean into the curves. Both V2 engines rev up and off we go... YEEEEHAAAA....!

We are somewhere in Aboda.
