Our second day of our Europe road trip didn’t start well. Mornings are never our thing, but now we had to catch a ferry to Puttgarden, Germany at 9.15, way too early for us. We don’t function well, any of us, in the mornings, so naturally something went wrong of course…
Breakfast were excellent at our B&B, we even managed to make picnic sandwiches and off we went, in time and everything, arrived to the ferry lines. And… I had of course forgotten the whole folder with all our hotel vouchers AND the ferry tickets… Nowadays you can’t trust my brain at all!!!!
So we had to return to the B&B and get our papers and then go back to the ferry to catch the next one, luckily you can miss one ferry and your tickets are still valid… phew. And luckily our B&B were close enough to make it! Lesson learnt: always triple check that you got everything with you!!!!
This day was just a transport distance, so no real sightseeing, just driving through Germany, no particular photo opportunities either. The real holiday starts after this…
Our Hotel for the night, De Oude Smidse, was in the countryside, very quiet and exactly what we needed for this night, to just relax, have a very bice, local dinner, take a walk in the countryside and go to bed.
When you read this it’s Saturday and we’ve been driving from Westernieland to Wijk aan Zee to meet Ginnie and Astrid!!!

Our first approx. 790 km went pretty well considering that we didn’t sleep hardly anything last night. We were late as usual and suddenly realized that we better not go to bed at all, so we packed the car and did hit the road instead – around 2.30 in the morning!
The thought was to rest and have coffee break after just a couple of hours driving. And how did that go?? Not so well because we couldn’t find any place open at night to buy that coffee… We had to stop and sleep in the morning instead, so yesterday night we were exhausted and only slept at our booked countryside B&B, getting fresh ecological eggs from their hens for breakfast in the morning.
Today when you read this, we’re on the next trip leg: from Rödby, Denmark through Germany to next stop in Westernieland, the Netherlands, which is approx. 500 km.
Those two first days are our longest in the car, mainly transport distances, no regular sightseeing other from very short moments. We have been here before. After this, the sightseeing starts…
Don’t forget to keep an eye on Lifecruiser Europe roadtrip 2012 Flickr Photos too, we will continue to upload our photos as soon as we got the time to do it – and working, fast enough wifi.

Our 7500 km roadtrip from Sweden through Europe has already started when you read this pre-scheduled post. We’re driving our own car from Stockholm, Sweden to Provence, France and back again another way through other European countries.
Our first leg of the trip are quite long, about 790 km, click to see it in Google Maps: from Stockholm, Sweden down to Maribo, Denmark, staying overnight there before taking the ferry from Rödby to Puttgarden, Germany where our next leg of the trip will start.
We will try to update more at Facebook or Twitter than here – when finding wifi – so be sure to keep your eyes open…
