#throwback – May 23, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made It on Time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually manage to hit the trail on time today! I want to arrive at the hostel early enough to do laundry\u2014that\u2019s the main reason I booked a room. Wild camping near a big city isn\u2019t easy either, so this is a win-win. Today I arrive in J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping<\/a>, the capital of the province. The city sits at the southern tip of Lake V\u00e4ttern<\/a> and has more or less merged with the city of Huskvarna<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sofia Church is beautiful, and the rest of the old town is well worth a visit too. I keep walking, and then Lake V\u00e4ttern reveals itself\u2014wow! It\u2019s the second largest lake in Sweden. The weather feels like summer, and pale Swedes are sunbathing on the beaches. I follow a gently descending path with stunning views down toward Huskvarna. Just after three, I arrive. The door to the hostel opens with a code, and as per the instructions, there\u2019s an envelope waiting for me in the linen closet with the key to room 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first: laundry! Two backpackers are already at the washing machine. Each cycle takes 25 minutes, so I\u2019ll have to wait, but I don\u2019t mind. Next to the machines, there\u2019s a separate drying room with racks made of perforated pipes. Warm air flows through them, and within a few hours, everything\u2019s dry. Not that I was worried\u2014everything I carry is lightweight and quick-drying anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I go grocery shopping, cook in a real kitchen, reorganize a bit, and clean all my gear. But then, a nasty surprise at the checkout. I thought I was getting a bargain, but it turns out that the fancy potato salad\u2014and a few other things\u2014were priced per 100 grams, not per package. I already thought it was suspiciously cheap. I could kick myself. It really was too good to be true. After a long shower, I sleep like a rock in a real bed. And yet\u2026 I kind of miss my tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
