<![CDATA[On my way.]]>On my way. First Helsinki–Stockholm–Malmö–Ystad–Bornholm, hiking, camping, and visiting relatives, Bornholm–…–Hamburg, COOL Days, Hamburg–…–Hoek van Holland–Harwich–…–London–Bridge of Orchy?, hiking and camping in Scotland. Rest of trip not planned, but should really visit Edinburgh, and have never been to Ireland so maybe there.

Will take the Highland portion of the Caledonian Sleeper (to Fort William), but haven’t decided yet where to get off. Rannoch? Corrour? Spean Bridge?

Hiking on the Rannoch Moor might be interesting. Or walking along the Caledonian Canal? Or more in the East, Cairngorns? Perhaps Shetland. Will be using .

And in what shape.

Furthest north I have been in Scotland is Inverness.

On the next track, a Snälltåget night train from Malmö via Göteborg and Stockholm to Åre and Storlien. Which must be quite a charming journey, 17 h 30 min in old carriages.

Had a very good night's sleep. My cabin is at the bow end of the ship so no engine or propeller noise. And the crossing was very smooth.

Oh well, I am not a connoisseur of that genre, but I suspect it will be tuned to be a bit tame or lame for this audience. But let’s see.

Eins, zwei, drei!

In 2023 and 2035 I was (with spouse) in Italy in May, and Eurovision is really not a thing there.

Enjoy!

(If you are in the west, you could also go to Skye or the Hebrides which is certainly on my list.)
