So all is still go for the start of my European cycling tour in June 2005. I got a cheap ticket for me and my bike from Ryanair and I'll be flying to Sweden on the 8th June.

From there I'll make my way up to the north of Norway. I'd like to be there for mid summers night, maybe I'll find my dream there?.

From northern Norway I'll make my way down the fjords till i reach Trondheim, from there I'll head into Sweden and down into Denmark.

From Denmark I'll go to Berlin and take a train to come and say hi to you all in Brussels.

From Brussels I'll go to the south of France by train/plane or lift (any volunteers welcome).

From the south of France I'll cross the Pyranees into Spain and follow the westcoast through Portugal and up the eastcoast back to France.

From there I'll go to Italy and follow the westcoast all the way down and then up to Bari where I'll cross into Greece. Depending on the time I'll decide where to overwinter or where to head to after that.
