End of The Osterlen Way

The last day of the Osterlan Way walk was another long day, starting in Simrishaman and ending in Kivik. We pretty much met our normal 9:00 start time, after a good breakfast at the Maritim Hotel.

We stayed together as a group for a ways, then split up as we pretty much have throughout the walk. John, Marty, and Debi prefer a faster pace. Diana and I ultimately let them go ahead while we enjoy the scenery.

And this was another day with great scenery through rolling countryside; wheat farms interspersed with the apple orchards this area is known for.

There was some excitement in the middle of the afternoon when I heard a blood curdling 

scream a couple of steps behind me. I turned

to find that Diana had rousted a"huge black snake sunning on the shoulder of the road. I'm sure both were equally surprised, but that Diana was the only one that screamed. 

In the middle of the afternoon we reached Kivik, and after one last uphill stretch, got to the Agda Lund, our B&B.

We all met up later, and walked (!) back into the village for dinner at what was probably the only place open – a great Swedish pizza joint.

Our walk of the Osterlen Way is over. Everyone did great. Everyone is tired and sore, but ready to spend a few off days in Copenhagen.
