Although I've already ridden 1620 miles and trip proper doesn't really start til I get to the Norwegian/Russian border some 930 miles hence I'm seeing some fascinating things and meeting some wonderful people.... last night stayed in Moliden, Sweden in a cottage built in 1890 and part of which was at one time used as a country store.
The owners expanded their business in 1938 to include a gas station. When the road they were on and the village got bypassed in 1968 both businesses shut down.
The gas station has been kept as it was on the day the very large cash register gave its final Kerching! Sven, my host for the night had the key and let me have a look.... a petrol head paradise!
