September 5, 2024,🇸🇪Schweden: WW14: Söderköping nach Mem

A beautiful tour with memories of our Göta Canal 🚲 tour in July.
Today, the restaurant in Mem, where we stayed in July, was also open... for a ☕️ break, of course. 🥲😍
Afterwards, we had an ice cream in Söderköping.🍨
That was a must at 26 degrees.😄
