The Tiger: The tale of three Countries
A slightly damp and overcast start in The Netherlands saw me munching a quick breakfast bar before hitting the road. 440km later, in Germany I was having lunch (and filling up for the second time). Another 320km I arrives in Kolding in Denmark where I have pitched at a campsite and will be cooking dinner shortly. Not the most interesting of days as this was just about getting North so I can make the ferry tomorrow so it was motorway all of the way. There is very little difference between driving in The Netherlands and Germany (in fact, I have no idea when I crossed the border but a some point I realised the signs had changed). Germany to Denmark was a little different with a bored chap in uniform waving cars though a chicane. I didn't see anyone get stopped though.
Although I am heading North, it has got warmer and warmer all day and is a very pleasant evening here in Denmark.
One of my longest journeys on the bike for this whole trip (in distance) of 760 km but in a reasonable time of 8hrs including stopping for fuel and breaks.
Today's Lesson - Set your clocks and Sat nav into km. Although the numbers are higher, they count down quicker and make it look like you are making better progress.
