A Tour of My Running Route

Back in February I found this path along Södermalm's southern coast when everything was covered in snow, ice and gravel.  It was still nice to run along.  But imagine my happiness when I returned last week from Turkey to find it looking like this!

I start off by walking towards Eriksdalbadet and look right to see the tiny houses built around garden plots.  It's like a whole colony of tiny houses and lots of plants.  I've never seen anything like it before I came to Sweden.  (More of these houses to come.)

Around the corner is the first view of Lake Malaren and a whole lot of boats.

There are docks where you can find happy sunbathing Swedes. Generally devoid of most of their clothes. 

Then I pass by the love graffiti! 

You can't live without love, you get nothing

Kärlek = Love

And under a bridge that carries the tunnel-bana into and out of the city.  

Past more garden houses. See how many there are! A village really. 

A little beach and some dads enjoying their paternity leave.

I usually turn here at Tantolunden.  This day I got a blister so I took the bus home.
