A nice small stage and a peacefull place by the river to setup the tent; not too bad :-)

Tomorrow we should reach the "Halland" region and thus be quite close to denmark (Halland, along w. the two other southern regions, Skåne and Blekinge, was danish untill a few centuries back; beeing lost in one of the many ancient wars - but when you run through the landscapes day by day its difficult not to feel that its a funny idea that nature belongs to this or that nation; it is its own and has been there long before there was nations; and will probably be there long after too :-)

- I hope you can excuse the digression :-) A run like this slowly changes the concept ofmany things we take for granted: the idea of time, distance and 'the nature of things' as the essentials !
And in that way builds on the philosophical project that world run 1 was for my personal behalf :-)
