Itinerary 7

Headed back into Scandinavia to explore Northern Sweden up to the Arctic Circle then traveled south through Finland until I reached Turko. From there I charted a ferry across to Stockholm. Joined a local family on their holiday and explore the Swedish Archipelago. From Stockholm I headed west by train through Oslo station to the west coast of Norway, eventually returning to. I returned to Oslo to catch a train south back into the mainland of Europe.

07/26 Hamburg, Germany

Poem 032 I see the daughter of pain

always changing but never, never dies, she lies

After the rain has come and gone, I still hear her singing, that same old song
playing it on and on, she’s gone
