I have added links with deeper information, most of them are Wikipedia links. I have chosen the Swedish link, but in some cases you can shift to English. If there is no English version you can use Google translator or similar service. There are more information in the Swedish language.

Map of today's travels, sixth day, from Everöd to Boaryd:

Our driving today, the distance is about 300 km. We almost only take the small rods, not the big roads as the map shows.


Everöd:

We try to get up a bit earlier today, same good service as we had the stay two days earlier at this place. When we had breakfast we meet four other travelers, two of them traveled by motorcycle. We had a long talk about our vacation experiences.

Osby:

As a teenager I read a lot of car magazines. In that magazines there were a lot of ads about a junkyard in Osby, USA bilddelar. I never visited it in that time, but now we pass through the village Osby where it's placed.
