Feedback from the world...

My summer vacation is coming up and I know I won't be going far due to time and economy, what I am thinking about is visiting my mothers grave in a town not too far from Stockholm as well as areas known for their beauty and in the process using all that gear I carried during those days this spring.

In short, would people be interested in a travel documentary from Sweden? I feel I have much to explore withing the boundaries of my own county but with the maybe 5-10 readers I have from countries outside of Sweden I was thinking it might inspire you to see my view of a country you yourself haven't seen?

I welcome feedback.

A part of my trip described here!

I was kind of surprised to see this but thanks to the guys over at Långfärdscykling, the Swedish bicycle touring group on Facebook I found out that the road from my struggle over Mr Mountain was described as one of Albania's most difficult roads.

The link to the site.

My own description of that day.

The Mediterranean, Sarandë and a place founded about 900 years BEFORE year 0...

Butrint was a fountain of tranquility, beauty, nature and remains from ancient times... Probably the single most inspiring place I have ever been to.

Wind and chatter in episode 9!

And the single most weird thing that happened on the trip of course, my hosts and their "hotel"....

Is this ever gonna end?!

I got the suggestion "Kill your darlings" in regards to my amateur documentary of my adventure but I have actually gotten more positive feedback from unknowns than bad.

Anyways, I expect the coming to parts to be about Albania because my stay in Sarandë and the trip to Butrint was nothing short of amazing even if there was little to no bicycling involved there.

After that it's Greece and I reckon I will need four parts of that part of my trip but we'll see.

I will probably do a blooper reel as well as a super, extra ultra edited version of the good stuff once I am done.

Part 8 is a short one!

Just me annoyed on dogs and some scenic views from Gjirokastër.

This episode...

...is entirely about the day of Mr Mountain ( http://nordlund75.blogspot.se/2013/04/im-on-mars-24-2013.html ) and while it is a fair amount of similar footage I recorded the entire downhill part and only a small portion made it in episode 7.

It was the hardest part of the entire trip.
