Still pouring cats and dogs but it will be over in an hour. We make a quick charging stop before we go to Hirtshals. Time for some snacks at the local 7-11.
Yup, the rain is back and quite plenty. Funfact at the supercharger in Randers : a gathering of Nimbus-motorbikes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbus_(motorcycle) at a diner that was build in living memory of The King Elvis Presley. Yep, you see strange things in Denmark.
We arrived early so we took our time to visit the centre of Horsens in Denmark. Typical building style and lots of sun so we enjoyed a refreshing drink before returning to the hotel and checking in. Valérie and me did some jogging around the local lake (infested with mosquitoes) but it was fun (we did both 14 km). Some pictures below. and below the proof of Valérie’s jogging :
It looks like a garage sale for Tesla’s here. 16 super chargers and quite well occupied. There is a hamburger joint next to it but for the rest : total nothingness.

Our first 165 km have been driven and we are taking a break in Moers (Van Der Valk Hotel). Spirits are high and the weather sucks (it’s raining cats and dogs outside).
Erm… this is not what you want to see when you go on vacation : But people told me this actually is considered quite good in Bergen :-). And we are fully prepared!!
We are leaving for Norway in a couple of days and if you are planning to go there as a tourist just know that you have to pay toll on their highways. If you are planning for a roadtrip (and do lots of kilometers) you might consider an Autopass. It’s a device that helps you pass the tollbooths without paying with a credit card or cash. It’s a device that is linked to your online AutoPASS-account so that you can get billed later on (or…Continue Reading “Preparing for Norway : the AutoPASS”
When I was 6 years old I got an orange-golden bike. When I became 10 my dad took me to the bike shop to let me pick out a brand new bike because I was getting a tad to tall for my old one. I refused to pick a new bike… I just couldn’t let my favorite old bike behind. I got kinda attached to the damn little thingie and in my mind I wasn’t ready to give it up. I got a very nice Playmobil set…Continue Reading “Triumph Trophy SE Lounge edition Day 1”
