Written 28.6:
Today we woke up early in the morning for we had to catch the bus to Turku which was leaving as early as 3 a.m. This meant that we had to be ready at around 2 a'clock. The whole morning consisted maimly of running from one place to the other so I do not have any fancy pictures. In Turku we still had to get to the port which lies about 4 and a half kilometers away from the centre. T his meant more running, especially because we first went to the wrong direction, thanks to my supreme navigating abilities. I really love to stretch your own limits to the very edge both in training and in life. Like today, we were exhausted, hungry and we had both slept only 2 hours. And I am not even mentioning the huge backpackd we were wearing. One could say that we would have could just catch a cab, but this was from my point of view lot more satisfying.
We were at last able to get some rest when we got on the boat. After a couple of hours of sleeping and reading my parkour radar was already tingling, because I hadn't had yesterday a change to train at all and I was a little sad because of all the nice spots which we had to leave behind us in Turku. So I decided to use the time on the boat in the most efficient way possible and started to search for training possibilities.
At first I didn't find anything inspiring save a couple of possibilities for a cat leap. But then we went on the sun deck and this nice complex (I can't give a better name for it) openend in front of my eyes. The best part of it is in my opinion that you do not face constructs like this everyday, the texture is different and the shape isn't very common. Thus it offered a perfect place to use my imagination. At first it was rather hard to find anything mindfull out of this construct. But as usual with new spots, by just trying enough moves your imagination starts to fly and new ideas come up.

At the end of the boat trip I was already consentrating on the next part of our journey: Stockholm. I visited a website called traceur.se which has listed a large number of spots in Sweden and almost every spot has pictures and even a list of the things you can train on the spot. I was rather disapointed of the spots; although there was a vast amount of them right in the Center, they where still mostly quite plain. I would have personally expected something more mind boggling. We where also both really exhausted, so we decided to relax a bit at the beautiful railway station of Stockholm.
InterRail part 2:
I was able to really screw things up today (11.8) and I accidentally deleted the next part of my InterRail text, so I'm now trying to copy it here.
After the first couple days I didn't have many opportunities to train for our schedule was rather tight, but I was able to find some sweet spots to share with you, enjoy.
