UK 2026 – Day 17 (Rotenburg to Kiel)

We continued our way north. Since it was May 1st, there was very little traffic. Both on the Autobahn and in Kiel.

Since the ferry over Elbe was a good experience on the way out. We decided to do it again. But we forgot to check the web site. It turned out that the water level was to low in the morning. So the ferry only resumed traffic at 11:00. Which left us waiting for more than an hour. But the weather was nice and we had some good chats with a couple of fellow travelers.

We had planned to visit a museum or two in Kiel. But due to the delay we only had time for lunch before checking in at the ferry terminal.

Tomorrow we will have the final day. Driving from Gothenburg back to Åkersberga.

We drove 193 kilometers today, 3 hours and 10 minutes plus waiting for the ferry.
