TS Day 97
TS Day 97
Via Björsjön, Grebban
Thursday 14 October 2021
Nights indoors means slow mornings whether you want it or not. That's just how it is.
I didn't feel like being in any rush at all today, and Monalie and Lars had left early in the morning to go to work anyway, so I knew I wouldn't see them again either even if I hurried.
Today felt like just another day of transportation. Luckily, I had two fully charged powerbanks and just two days until rest day, which meant I could use my electronics AS MUCH AS I WANTED. I spent the day listening to music, listening to podcasts, surfing on my phone and talking to Lukas. It helped the day pass faster, which I by now really appreciate because I just want to reach Smygehuk and go home to Lukas 😂
Today, I picked roads instead of walking along Västra Vätternleden, and along one of those roads I met a roller skier who stopped to ask me the regular questions, and also slip in a "well, there are people for everything" as I said I'm walking from Treriksröset to Smygehuk. Well, he's not wrong! Not everyone likes roller skiing 😏
At Björsjön I took a break and filled my water bottle. The water here was really clear and nice, but I made it into ice tea anyway because I really wanted some of that (I'm carrying ice tea powder).
Not much more of interest happened today. I talked more with Lukas and spent over an hour in a telephone queue. Finally I arrived at the goal for today, and luckily I found a spot where I could pitch my tent - I didn't feel like sleeping in the shelter with the spiders today either.
