To Gibraltar


Thursday, July 6th, 2006

I get up at six AM and have a shower. Then I go to the cafetaria for breakfast. I ask the waitress if I may fill my thermos with coffee and that is no problem. Then I have to spray the chain, check the oil and cooling fluid levels and load all my luggage at the bike again. Finaly, at seven, I'm on the road again.


On the road to Hirsthals in Danmark

It is an hour and a half driving to the ferry terminal in Hirsthals. When I arrive I buy a ticket but it is to early to check in so from half past eight to ten o'clock AM, I'm waiting at the terminal building.


The Color Line terminal in Hirsthals

Then, at ten, we can check in and I drive to the parking with the lines with cars for the ferry to Kristiansand in Norway.

First the ferry to Bergen is loaded and leaves the port and then the Kristiansand ferry, the Silvia Ana, arrives.


The Silvia Ana

Boarding starts at twelve and at half past twelve, we leave port.
I had to tighten the bike myself but with a little help it was secured to the deck. Now I'm on my way to Norway.
