!Yeah, the next day at Halden was pretty action packed at the town center..there was the tons of rock concert happening at the fotress, so we went there to take a peek,got a good view of the town from there..then there was the boat and food festival happening at the harbour, so enjoyed some live musik there.there was some truckers bash happening round the corner and a plenty more other gigs .... Anyway, we also managed to get a free warm shower at the grand hotel after requesting the manager :),this was long pending... Another pretty interesting thing happend this morning, at our camp came in a big guy and asked us to vacate the campin spot to go find a place somewhere else, not that he was rude or hostile in doin so,but just looked a lil determined :) he gave us another local add a few kilometers away to pitch our tent and said that place would be appropriate since this/current space was  private belonging to a trust, which ran the nearby museum and the five stone grave right nex

Anyway, we found the cheapest bet at Mcdonalds to take a piss, thnx to Ganpati a Hyderabadi working there :) Early morning the Stockholm central staton was super busy,but luckily we were flowin in the oposite direction to the rats :).We got the cash machine, and a few veggies for cooking later that day and headed straight to Angbyplan(metro station) at ANgby campsite and the first thing that striked us about the city was the number of eye contacts, aknowledgement and helloz from people as compared Norway or Denmark... Post accessing the campsite which was way too different in many ways as conpared to ekeberg in Oslo.Here therz a bunch of tents, the usual caravans and trailers,however, therz also t
