When I wake up at half past six in the morning I have a headache so I took
two aspirines and went to bed again. An hour later my headache was gone so
I took a shower en went to the youth hostel for breakfast.
A lot of people were leaving already. Not so strange because the people from
Spain and Italy had a log trip to make to get home.
Going home
Others were packing their tents and loading the bikes. Fortunately it was a
sunny morning so the tents could dry quickly.

....and leaving for the trip home
My neighbour was leaving too, with his tent in his home made trailer. He had
to make a two day trip to get home in Northern Sweden.
Nice trailer
I needed electricity to load my Tomtom and headset so I asked Lars if I could
get electricity in the cabin but when he heard that it was for loading the
Tomtom and headset only, he offered me to load them in his office. Very nice.
I got the Tomtom and headset and the chargers and left them in the camping
building for an hour or two so they were fully loaden for my trip tomorrow.
Then it was time for the closing ceremony. There were some prices to give away and
everyone was singing "Happy Birthday" for Peter Russell. Peter and Ed both got an
engraved glass mug.

Speech by "the Duke"
After the official part, Desert Track played the GoldWing song again and some other
songs while a lot of people left on their journey home.

Leaving....
After the ceremony I walked back to the youth hostel and had a nice chat with Rita
and Michael from Bike Butler and
a Danish men and his son from Sakskobing.

After Rita and Michael and the Danish guys left, I sat at a table with some English and
American members and while we were sitting there, another Danisch man came looking at
the GoldWings on his Nimbus with sidecar.

a very international group. Judy & Dave were there, Americans living in Poland, Edward from the US,
Bob & Kathy from the US,
Dave & Meike from the UK,
Bruce and his wife also from the US, Neil from the UK, Bryan and Juliana from New Zeeland,
Sergio Cafarelli from Italy/Spain, Peter & Lesley from the UK, another British Winger who's
