Swedish Lotus in the Alps & Dolomites 2022 – Day 1

Finally, the grand tour that has been planned since late 2019 is coming through! September 8 is the first day, primarily transit to Berlin. Due to bad weather in the Baltic sea, the ferry we had booked got cancelled. This cancellation came yesterday, which caused a lot of confusion and extra planning. So, the group ended up taking different alternative routes to Berlin. All in all it was a long day for most of us.

842 km from Åkersberga to Rødby, 45 min on the ferry followed by 371 km from Puttgarden to Berlin. We start just after 02:00 in thd morning and arrived at the hotel in Berlin just aft 17:00 in the early evening.

We took off at 02:10 in the morning from Åkersberga.
We had the tunnels to our own in Stockholm this morning
