DAY 305

Friday 11 May 2012

Three countries in one day - Germany, Denmark and Sweden! We got up at 9:30 and Dian and Nicole both had head colds. Not fun.We stopped in the last big town in Germany called Flensburger where we stocked up on beer and other provisions before entering EXPENSIVE SCANDINAVIA. (We weren't alone, all the other cars were packed to the gills with soda and beer).

Going into the tunnel

Surprisingly, Denmark seemed to have the highest speed limit we'd seen, 130 km/hr (about 80 mph), and in  some places no number registered on the GPS - no speed limit? Ah, those reckless Danes. We crossed two long bridges between Nyborg to Korso in Denmark then another one to Malmo, Sweden from Copenhagen. It was windy when we crossed the second bridge (saw a large bird attempt to fly, stop still in the air and get blown back to its perch) and with no buffer from trees or shrubs it was difficult to keep White Rabbit/Excalibur in its lane. Charles did a masterful job. We ended up watching a late sunset at a gas station parking lot where we could have hooked into electricity but didn't see it until the next morning. We ate a late dinner and had a bit more Mark Twain then hit the hay.
