Hiking in the woods near Uppsala

This morning, I caught the 9:10 train to Uppsala and met up with my friend Rebecca. We bought a picnic lunch and then joined two of ther friends, Markus and Lina, at the square in the middle of the town.

We caught a bus from there to the outskirts of the city, and began a 13 kilometer hike through the woods. We stopped at a log cabin for lunch, and then stopped again to enjoy the bottle of champagne that I'd concealed in my backpack. Actually, we had champagne and mimosas, ’cause I had some fresh-squeezed orange juice in my backpack too. I didn't endure years of boy-scouting for nothing: I come prepared, baby!

I took a bunch of photos on the hike, and naturally posted the one here that shows me with two cute girls. All 23 photos from today's hike are online for your viewing pleasure.
