Hoek van Holland to Lund, 912 km through the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Based on our experience from day 2, we were a bit sceptic. We’ve driven this route many times before, so we know that anything can happen. The good thing was that we didn’t have a specific ferry to get to in time.
It was warm when we arrived in the harbour. For once, getting off the ferry and through the border controll went smoothly. Last year it to more than an hour. We bravely set off with the softtop folded. Despite some very dark clouds above is. We quickly had to reconsider a couple of kilometers later. The dutch weather gods gave us a wet welcome back.
We had breakfast at a service station once more (better than the ferry though). There were more intense showers along the way towards Germany. The weather then shifted to blue skies and 34 degrees!
Two road works and one accident caused some stau. But all in all, the drive went well. We even managed to catch an earlier ferry from Puttgarden than the one we had booked.
There was very little traffic on the roads in Denmark and we arrived at the motel in Lund just after 20:00. A cold beer at the terrace was very welcome.
Tomorrow we’ll drive the last part back to Åkersberga, just north of Stockholm.
