Bike ride to Lysekil
August 12, 2004




Me, heading west along Hwy 161.




Coming from the Bay Area, you really appreciate this scenery.









After an hour, I reach the Gullmarsfjorden ferries.




I soon spot the very familiar contour of Lysekil church.




Been going since noon, almost 2 hours now. And its hot, hot, hot...




Enjoying the famous 'half special' - hot dog with mash and relish.




After Lysekil, I board 'Carl Wilhelmson' across Gullmarsfjorden to Fiskebäckskil.

Fiskebäckskil




I ride back east across island Skaftö, and reach Skaftö Bridge...




...under which 'our' marina is located.




These guys also reside here.




They build lthe Fantasi uxury yachts. This one's sold to the West Indies.














Bokenäs church




harvest time









[you lazy cow]




Almost home now, just across the forest, in Utby.




Several hours and 70km later, I find Erik at home with his guitar.




[view along my way to the waterfront for an evening swim]




Olof and Simon both say hi, backdropped by a cargo ship and a passenger ferry.
