The trip to DK
February 10th, 2008 Posted in After Arrival, NewsThe trip to DK started for me at 2:25 in the morning. At that time I woke up, took my food for the day out of the fridge, said goodbye to my parents and drove to Jago’s house where we was waiting with some last boxes of stuff and some bags, which, after a bit of fooling around, got in the car. My car was loaded heavily, stuff for 4 months for 2 ppl, its some weight all together. Quite funny to see that the back of the car was lowered by 8cm or so. At 3:15 we took off at Jago’s home in Belsele and started our trip to Herning
My GPS, and google maps as well, calculates this as 8h30m driving, so we guessed we’d arrive around 13, because we need to rest sometimes :P. The weather was perfect and the roads were perfect (perfect = empty, dry and flat). At 6:30 we took our first break to have some small breakfast and a wee. At 7:35 we had another small break where we filled up the car again. Another 2 hours later we had another small break for some more eating and stuff. at that time we had done already 700km. Around 10:50 we crossed the danish border. The 150km/h I got used to in germany now had do be reduced to 110 - 130, but we were almost there, sun shining, still emptry roads. After a second fueling stop we headed to the smaller roads, leading to Herning. Finally at 12:00 we were here, at Esben (our buddy) his doorstep.
He had the keys of our apartment. We were quite amazed by the size of our apartment, and not in a good way. The sleeping room was very small, and sleeping in that with 2 people…. It is possible, but not very comfy. In the living room - on the other hand - we had a little bit more space, 2 desks, a small couch and a comfy chair. So we moved around the beds and desks in a way that we both have a “private” room. My desk and bed are in the living room and Jago his bed and desk are in the sleeping room. So we have a bit of privacy.
