This time I’m trying something new. I’m currently on vacation and I’m about on my way to ride my bike from Copenhagen, Denmark through Sweden to Bergen, Norway. I will try to write a travel blog on a daily basis via my smartphone through the next couple of weeks.
Basically, during past couple of days, I’ve been busy packing my stuff to travel via bike and tent. It took me three days to prepare everything (clean clothes and bike, repair equipment etc.). Packed the bags by sunday morning and hurried to the central train station.
Catched the train on time and also arrived in Uelzen on time. However, the connection to Hamburg had a delay of approx. 40 min. Further delays forced me to change trains in Lüneburg in order to get to the city of Lübeck-Travemünde. I arrived about 1 hour late due to train delays but still had 3 hours left.
I killed the time at the beach before moving to the harbor. The beach of Travemünde was crowded very well, temperature was around 27 °C.
At around 18:30h I moved to the port towards Skandinavienkiel. The check-in at the port was very easy and I met some nice cyclists along the way. We went together on board and had an exclusive place for our bikes in front of the ship (bow side).
Departure was on time at 22h and the sights from the Observation/Sun Deck were amazing – the promenade, the beach and some lightning on the horizon!
The Finnlines personnel were friendly and very supportive, thanks alot to the crew!After having a dinner, I went to the cabin and passed out quickly due to a dense packed travel day. Awesome!
