Days 1 & 2 - Vanersborg

Day 1
Morning-everyone arrives. Some come by bus from Gothenburg and others on their own. One couple was late and the guide was sweating.
Afternoon - we were assigned bikes and shown some of the procedures.
Evening - Welcome dinner
Day 2
Lectures on safety and rules of the road. Then off to Trollhattan. Visited the canal museum and received our first introduction into the grand canal adventure the Swede's undertook in the 19th century.
