.....Wednesday was another tough day!....We set off soon after 9am and arrived at the Bear Centre near Orsa.....There are many huge enclosures housing brown bears, polar bears, snow leopards and wolves.....Seeing a mother brown bear with four cubs was pretty special....It started raining there before we left and so we had 100 miles is hard driving rain....The bike runs best when it's dry and not too cold so it was a slow day on the bike....We arrived here in Svet around 4pm and headed for the camping. The owner, Ivar Svenssen, on hearing about our adventure, gave us a cabin for the night for free....Thanks Ivar!.......We're about 500 miles from the Arctic Circle now, it's definately getting cooler. The nights are getting pretty short and it's starting to feel distinctively rural!......It's starting to get to be 50 miles between petrol stations......
