Northern Europe Tour
also known as
Dr Elch muess woadn Tour 2007
A journey through mountains, valleys, cities and forests; a journey through 9 different countries, different languages and cultures; an amazing journey full of stories…
Stefan, Thomas and me decided to explore the Northern part of Europe. So Thomas and me drove all he way up to Uppsala to pick up Stefan; seen the long way we stopped in Berlin and Lueneburg. From Uppsala we drove up to Kiruna and then down to Trondheim in Norway. It took as 10 days to do this trip and we mostly slept in the tent. Back in Stockholm, Thomas flew back to Bologna. Stefan and me went on to Goeteborg and Lund and then Copenhagen in Denmark. Then we met some friends in Amsterdam and later Brussels. We stayed for some more days in Gembloux before we went to Trier. We ended our journey with a concert in Munich. After 34 days (for me) we did about 10.000 km...a really great road-trip.
Following you can see a best of 150 pictures out of 1300 and a brief diary of our trip. It consists of the title - or better slogan - of every day and the places we went; I think it doesn't make sense to publish the whole trip-diary...but if u want to read it let me know.
In the bottom of the page you can download some pictures packs.
