Today we are heading back to Malmö again and it's time to sum up the trip. The 110km hiking (-6km boat trip) in the Swedish mountains has been the longest hike we have done so far, averaging about 20km a day. The terrain has been quite easy but it's still though to carry the heavy bags so long. We did tye trip in five days and there was never any stress to make our day tips even though we did them quite a bit longer then "recomended", but concidering Ania's knees suffered the last day we should probably have planned for one more day. The scenery has been fantastic and can easily measure up to both Norway and New zealand. Only one day did we suffer from the mosquitos and we expected it to be a lot worse. Something we probably will try to do for our next trip is to look at the bag situation. To be light on the feet makes you able to enjoy the scenery more then when struggeling with a heavy bag, though you feel better about yourself when reaching your goal with the heavy load.
Btw, sorry for not posting chronologicaly but there was no cell coverage in the trails so nothing got posted until we reached Abisko.
