Epic Road Trip Part 1
The Eurotandem Team Sets Sail for North Cape
May 24th
23.15 pm
Eurotandem sets sail on the ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland. A blissful journey in a posh cabin- some well earned rest after some frantic packing in the three day stopover between arriving from NZ and leaving for Europe
May 25th
07.45 am
Arrive Hook of Holland. Very surprised by some suicidal cyclists and lots of greenhouses (?tulips vs ?cannabis) Lots of traffic, so very slow start.
10.00 am
Start seeing ‘ß’ on signposts. “Does this mean we’re in Germany? “ asks Ben. “No, don’t be stupid they have that on Dutch too” retorts Soph. Next city we come across: Hamburg. Very fast driving and lots of BMWs, so it turns out we’re on the Autobahn.
16.30
Depart Puttgarden on ferry number 2: bound for Denmark. This time, not such an epic boat, but the team are again glad not to be driving. Benj has a time delay start for mental processing to much amusement. Arrive in 3rd country of the day and push on up to Copenhagen.
19.30
Arrive Absalon campsite- smiles of glee as we explore our new little cabinette complete with Gi-balcony upstairs.
