1 July E81 Homeward Bound

As I write this entry we are on the boat halfway between The Hook of Holland and Harwich.  The journey to the port this morning was another easy run and we arrived with plenty of time.

Wow!  It certainly has been an adventure over the last nine weeks.  We have driven over 6000 miles through five countries and we have seen sights that previously were unknown to us.  The main reason for this trip was to see Norway in particular and we were not disappointed!  The sheer size and scale of Norway is impressive.  The scenery is breathtaking and the people are very hospitable.  We loved the ‘midnight sun’ in the Arctic circle.

There is not much else for me to say that has not already been said either in words or photographs previously on this blog.

Of the countries we have been to on this trip our favourite is Norway followed by Sweden and Denmark, then Germany and lastly Holland.  I do accept that we spent very little time in either Holland or Germany so we will return another day to those two countries and pass judgement then (hehe).

We are of the opinion that the optimum time period for us to be travelling in the van is between 4 and 8 weeks before we become ‘punch drunk’.  Therefore we intend to optimise our trips away in the future.

After this trip we will have a short period of consolidation before out next adventure……………..where next is yet to be decided…...

Tara for now
