I woke up at 4:30 am to find that it wasn’t raining. I hang my clothes, hoping that they would dry soon in the windy weather. However, by 9:30 am, I gave up as even my microfiber t-shirts weren’t dry. The humidity was at least 100%. I began to walk to Ödeshög, and the weather got warmer.
I stayed in Alvastra and took a break. I didn’t feel like looking at the monastery ruins as I had been there before. I started to walk again, and although it became warmer, my clothes still weren’t dry.
I had lunch in Hästholmen, and thankfully, there was no asphalt today. The trail was comfortable and pleasant to walk along the beautiful Lake Vättern, but the way was mostly like a river and muddy too.
I stayed near Ödeshög, which had a beautiful view of the lake. I hung my clothes in the trees and went to sleep at 9 pm. However, I soon had to rush out the tent to take in the clothes as it started pouring down again.
It rained all night and was still pouring down in the morning. All my clothes were more or less wet, and since I was still near home, I decided to break my journey again.
