Ready?- nearly, steady? bit wobbly! GO!

You need to be careful what you watch on the telly!, way back in January 2014 I watched the Hairy Bikers and Hugh F.W, both featured  trips around Scandinavia and a seed was sown!

.........................................fast forward to this morning and I have left my lovely comfortable bed for the last time in four weeks, the five of us are off on a Scandinavian road trip adventure, there has been plenty of planning!! and preparation! we have made plenty of lists and checked them twice!!! the van is almost packed, all we have to do is tidy up the house!!! for our lovely friend and house sitter and have a meat and 2 veg and gravy  dinner,..........its pasta and rice for a month now!

As we have made our plans it feels like we have had to throw out a few things out of the basket to lighten the load, ........................................Trailer- (pete has engineered a really great bike rack that we can lower and still open the back door of the van) Canadian canoe!!! (which we don't even own anyway) and Finland!

Pete has done a great job turning the builders van into something much nicer that a builders van!

Thanks for your help Mark, this Torvil and Dean moment did amuse me!

 

We shall be heading to The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, Denmark , Germany and the Netherlands!- just like that.......................
