Scandinavia by bicycle 1993

<< European trips

HannoverGeteborg My first trip outside the borders of the socialist bloc. I did not know that travel in Europe is quite simple. During this trip Wojtek Kocot took me with him and taught me that you can sleep everywhere, even on the bus stop.

We met on 20 July 1993 in Katowice and went on conquering Europe. Travelled across Poland, Germany, Denmark, by ferry to Sweden and further continued cycling to Norway. Here, unfortunately, my bike, and more specifically the spokes, started broke due to heavy load. Too often repairs have forced me to return - in Oslo Wojtek cycled north, and I turned back to Sweden. Now began my test - the journey alone.

Passing through Denmark and Germany, after 31 days, travelled over 3,000 kilometres, I returned home.
