Summary: Top(?) pics and some stats from the trip

My personal top pics from my 50 days around western europe, opting for pics not previously shown in the blog. In total I've driven some 8207,5 km, with some extra +2000 km travelled by ferry and train.
Been out for some 50 days and used a little more than half a cubic meter of fuel (521 liters). Maybe not very environmentally friendly, but does say something about the tourism of the western world today. You usually don't get these kinds of figures when travelling by plane or car.
I already want to go back! There are just so many places I have had to skip...
Some minor alterations for next time though (in addition to what I've already written in another article):

  • Go earlier in the season. September/October turned out to be a season of retired people in camper vans. Not too exciting...
  • Keep the map in a more handy place than in the panniers
  • Make sure the setup for charging pad and mobile actually works!
All in all both planning, equipment and routing fanned out as I had hoped. Thinking things through and having some previous experience pays of if you plan to do something similar!

With that I sign off. Hope you have enjoyed as much as I did and hopefully I'll be back some day with another blog of travels to come.


The trip in total. Orange being driven, purple ferry and green car-/bike-train
(yes I know there should be a ferry between denmark and germany as well...)
