Welcome!

Travel by bike to Spain? Yeah, why not! I've been playing around with the idea for quite some time and then let it go again. Mainly due to obligations at home. Being a parent, work and other of the everyday stuff sort of got in the way. Then things started to fall into place; my son decided to stay with his mother this year, downsizing at work and becoming redundant (but to be fair I got a good deal, even though I'd preferred to stay of course). Still I didn't actually consider a trip as this one though. It wasn't until some friends of mine, as a casual remark, mentioned the option I realized what a great opportunity I have in life at the moment!

The outline of the trip I've described on a separate pages. Suffice it to say here that this will be exciting!

As I will be all on my own and have limited possibilities to stay in touch with friends and relatives on a daily basis, I decided to set this blog up as a means of following where I am and what I'm doing. I don't know if there'll be any followers, but now the option is there. Another reason is that I hope to be able to share experiences, tips and tricks of the trade, hoping someone might find it useful when doing their own trips.

The update will probably be fairly unregular as it is highly dependent of the communications available. Keeping to GSM/GPRS etc is not cheap when roaming. I hope for the possibility of using W-LAN of the places I visit instead, but we'll see.

The blog will be in English. I've got many non-Swedish speaking friends and also don't want to limit the tips/experiences/tricks content to native swedes of course. Pictures will be included as often as I can and have them available. My main photo equipment is a Nikon SLR, but don't really know how to transfer pics from that one to the Samsung-pad I will use when writing the blog. Probably will have to take a few pics with the pad cam too.

Anyway, once again welcome to Two months of Europe!
