The final leg of his journey – the very south of Sweden. It’s here that Simon feasts upon seasonal oysters and mussels with a local fisherman who owns his very own island – reachable via an old fishing boat. He then goes onto Falkenberg where he helps a husband and wife who have been assisting salmon up the river on their annual migration, every autumn, for more than half a century. After a final ride through the flat agricultural land of Skåne he arrives at the annual apple market in Kivik where he meets a local farmer who needs help with her harvest. They pick and juice apples together before Simon ends his epic journey with a final ride to Smygehuk.
