HOME SAFE...

I left Main4ce at 11ish.
Crossed the border to Denmark at 15:30 (3.30 PM).
Arrived at Hirsthals (north tip of Denmark) at 20:30 (8.30 PM).
- changed my ferry ticket. The boat left at 22:15.
Arrived Larvik (Norway) at 02.15.
- and was finally home 03.30 - had a shower, and was in bed by 04.00.

What a great road trip - or should I say race?

Trough Germany on the Autobahn doing 140-160 km/h (87-99 mph)
In Denmark I did around 120-140 km/h (75-87 mph) - heavy rain parts of the way.
Norway - 120 (75 mph) all the way home...

I HAD A GREAT WEEKEND SCOTT.
Good BBQ - good beer - good people

Good to hear you got home safely m8!

Wow..Thats a hard drive you did..I was thinking around lunch time today, Andreas will be getting on the ferry around now, but you where already home :) . I bet it was great to sleep in a bed, let alone your own after 3 nights in a tent :D . We where lucky with the weather apart from the day you left, it rained real heavy all over the northern Europe and I was sure you must have got caught up in it!

Again, it was a get mini-mini Con, and great to get to know you a little better!

Interesting to see it today. It is not as large as I though it was, but still a lot of water there.
