Our Sweedish friends who we have not seen for 16 years were the best hosts and we thank them for all there generosity especially Irene who lent us her appartment and then guided us around Copenhagen.Thanks so much Irene and we look forward to your Austalian Visit next year.

We finished the Norway journey of the picture card vista around every corner along with lots of hours driving but not actually going too far .AT on stage we had done 450ks and only gone south 159. It was common to have 150ks to go in a straight line only to find it was 380 by road.
Any how we arrived Stockholm and had the look around very nice place again a city of islands and water then on to Malma where we caught up with Irene and into Denmark .Bus tour roud Copenhagen and we set off for Berlin on the ferry for a bit again and arrived in an outer suburb for the night which was great.Also the roads are great and fast.
Berlin is a very open place with again a large park .trees and lots of open space it would be worth a trip back if the opportunity ever arose. Off after our look around heading for the Netherlands but alas the traffic and the driver becoming grumpy and in need of an ale or two we stopped just short of the border.

Amsterdam and Utrecht ok lot warmer than when I was here in January so at least things are green and flowering not covered in ice .Utrecht is a great little city about 20min out by train from Amsterdam.

Luxemberg tomorrow.

Sitting in Torndenham Norway on our way south.Interesting night in the car last night got stuck at a tunnel closure had to sleep in car but hey it does not get dark. All good Norway is so exspesive $17 dolsr at Macas.But is probably the most beautiful place we have been too and we have seen some fantastic sites. driving along the fiorjds with snow on the mountains on one side and shear cliffs above the car on the other .Farms hanging onto the hils and any small reasonably flat ground bigger than 6x6 a fishing shack on it.

Beauty differe


The hills and montains are different to France and Switzerland more like gigantic rolling hills with just the odd peak not like the ragged and shearness of the southern Alps and the green is just sow vibrant i guess comes from having now darkness. Stressa who can frget that lake

Poland and Lituania beautiful undulating hills and forests with odd lake ans large farming operations .Driving in poland a night mare so many towns and speed changes ,speed cameras every where can only average about 60ks soo frustrating. Auswich Just sick German fucks totaly insane.
Lithuania full of suprises .Taraki just beautiful and cheap,the hill of cross's just mind boggling.

Latvia and Estonia very backwood just trees lakes and swamps .Abandoned towns and quite depressing although not the people.
Finland organised every thing is new roads ,buildings,whare houses ,all new coutry side 180,000 lakes trees.swamps,flat and uninspiring.Santas house ?? a souveniar shop. top sweden hill and starting to green will be back in Sweden next few days to see friends.

Italy with its flambouant use of the natural landscape is totaly different to the Northern European  where all is square and in place, no imagination apart from some great practical engineering feats but even then with no flare just getting the job done. No emotion in the gardens and parks or there churchs .Just there.
