back from the fall break and its busy again..
Some stuff about the hitchhiking trip here..Only one team made it to the finishing point, not us. We stopped hitchhiking after Denmark so we could enjoy the cities, instead of just checking out the highways. Was a good experience overall.
So this is the route we took. We left at 6am saturday morning and got back at 9am the next saturday
(Nertherlands) Utrecht - Groningen - Nieuweschans - (Germany) Bunde - Leer - Bremen - Hamburg - Puttgarden - (Denmark) Rondby - Kobenhavn - (Sweden) Helsingborg - (Norway) Oslo - Trondheim - Bergen - (Netherlands)Amsterdam - Utrecht!
From the Netherlands in Nieuweschans, we walked about 10 km across the border along the highway to Germany to the worst town i've ever been to in my life.. BUNDE! Had some horrible food before realising that we should get out as quickly as possible..there were only old people, and buses stopped running at 4 on saturday..its horrible. We spent the night in Bremen along the street, under a tree after failing to get a ride anywhere.
Puttgarden is one of the ferry crossing sites to Denmark, so we took the Ferry across, which took about 45 mins, to
Rondby. We spent that night in Kobenhaven, and I really like that city and the architecture there. Next day we headed to Norway and chilled in Oslo for the day, and took the night train to Trondheim, where we spent another day, and took the night train to Bergen, where we spent the longest time (2 days), and from where we flew back to Amsterdam (Via Oslo).
So.. some thoughts on the trip.. I really like scandinavia. The landscape is beautiful, and looking out at snow covered expanses is really nice too. Fresh fish and seafood from the fish market every morning is also great. Whale meat sandwiches are excellent too, but more expnsive than salmon. The girls get hotter the further north you go. Everything is too expensive in Norway (try $5.50 for a coke or coffee at 7-11, or $20 for a macdonalds meal) and i cannot get paying an extra 50cts per item in fast food outlets to sit in the restaurant. I had a great time but it was too expensive and I should go in the summer.
Also saw Arab Strap in Bergen so that was great, it was their 10th anniversary/farewell tour. They're also playing in Utrecht, but its always nicer to see a band somewhere else (with scandinavian chicks).
