When a drink is earned

Having driven for two hours to get to Rodby, the boat actually leaves from RodbyHavn which I guess means Rodby harbor which is only a few kms different. On board they have the border shop which has cheap goods for people crossing the border, including a special cigarette pack which must be smoked before you reach the other side (45min). We used the Krona and the Krone that we had left over to buy a bottle of bubbly.  So far so good, but then we hit the traffic incident, a two hour snarl but eventually we navigated our way around it and have arrived at Hamburg airport after eight hours of travel. This drink was well earned.

The car was a diesel Volvo. We drove around 1400km thru Germany, Sweden, Denmark and back to Hamburg on one tank. We only filled up once back at the airport for 70 euro. For this area it is the cheapest option to travel as there are no tolls in these countries except for the Oresund Bridge.  Last year I paid 300 Euros in tolls driving through France.

Copenhagen old days
