Arrived in Jönköping at 19:15. Pretty amazing trip already. Now up to the hotel and time to grab something to eat. We have a few fully packed days in front of us. Up to Sunday, this internet spot will get you all the ins and outs. Nerd-FM approved content. Good night friends. May the force be with you.

It gets dark pretty quickly. No way we could enjoy the country side of Jönköping. Especially as yes, nature had decided to spread some rain again.

But the road signs made it clear, our over 2000 km trip was soon to end.

Not a single minute gets waisted. Constantly on the outlook for hot news, we’ve got Basti and team ready to capture every important moment and get it to you.

And when nothing relevant pops up we read interesting stuff on the countries we’re in, the foreign habits we will encounter and the currencies used in various countries.

We are always concentrated. It’s part of our DNA to stay alert. If Holly drives, nothing can stop him paying full focus on the road.

Looking forward to reaching final destination soon, we all agreed that a cheap solution to get something to eat was a cool idea. Kurt figured he saw a rabbit and made moves to catch it straight from the car.

Our 1974 material was double checked, also by official institutions. But when we decided to switch drivers, Basti was a bit too enthusiastic pulling back the seat. To all our fans out there, no panic, we got it all fixed.

We would have loved to post a picture of the sign showing we crossed the border. Unfortunately it’s located in the middle of the bridge. By the time we had our camera up and running, well … you get the picture, we were too late. At customs, nothing to declare. We had to explain what we wanted to do in Sweden, when we’d be back etc. Of course, nerds, they know what they’re doing. Let us in.

Nerds know how to treat themselves with a decent meal plus educated well by their companies when it comes to costs savings. Even in foreign countries. Look what we managed to find on the menu.

Stomach refilled. Car refilled. And off we go again.

Yet another country to add to our list. Just a few minutes after the lovely city of Flensburg, we’re now entering Danish territory.

The Sun Shines!  We almost forgot what this ball of fire looked like. But here it is in full glory, think we survived a curse. What better weather to do a downtown ride of Flensburg, the Saint Tropez of the North.

It’s raining again. Some strange paranormal things are happening with the car. You get in, sit down,  close the doors and it starts to rain.
