We woke to a fine but windy morning. Packed our tents as light rain began to fall. After breakfast we set off back through the city of Ystad towards Trelleborg. Most of the way was on a cycle path. There was a very strong headwind which was a little unpleasant, and made it slow going. It was a distance of just over 50 is to the port city.
On arrival we had lunch at a cafe near the port - which is just beside the main shopping area. Then we cycled a few blocks to a Viking Museum. Here we saw a Viking house all set up as a working place, with a fire burning in the centre if the building.
From there we went to the gardens, where hens and roosters, peacocks and other birds roamed freely.
We sauntered through town, and had a coffee at a local cafe. All the other riders were around there also. We sat on the terrace and the wait staff came and turned on the has heater, which made it too hot.
Down to the truck which was parked on the wharf to change into street clothes before going for dinner at another local cafe.
From there we went to the St Nickoli Church, where there was a (free) piano concert. Excellent performance from three different pianists. It went from 7-8, so now we are filling in time until we get to board the overnight ferry for Germany at 10pm. Currently siting in the McDonalds opposite the ferry terminal to use the wifi!
Still very light outside as it doesn't get dark till 10.30, and light again by 3.45 am. This will change as we head further South.
