Goteborg to Bergen, Germany

Long drive down from Sweden last night.  The car is great; I really like the adaptive cruise control.  This feature is the next best thing to a full auto train which Volvo is developing.  Just set the cruise and steer. When approaching another car you will adapt to that cars speed until the road ahead is clear and then you will resume your speed.  The lane departure and blis did their job warning us when needed. 


We stopped for gas in Nyborg Denmark because Chance saw a castle sign and he was driving.  This was the quaintest little village I have ever stopped at.  We ate at a small cafe that was amazing. 





The local Polizi drove a R design XC60!  We saw it twice but were unable to get a photo.

We walked along Nyborg Fyord and then as we were leaving we came upon the Castle.  It was getting dusk but we were able to park the car next to it and get a family picture.  

As we walked around the grounds Stephie went from info sign to info sign soaking in as much as she could.  This village is a must stop for any tourist passing through  on the E20. 

We then drove another 200+ miles into Hamburg to eat at Gronigens.  I was here in 2009 in support of the Dream.  Authentic German meats and potatoes.  This is a brew house which has amazing "white beer".   

We walked around the Local Christmas village which was huge.  Temperature was around 40 with a very light mist.  

50 miles farther south in Bergen is our hotel.  Setback 12 miles from A7 it is a great feel for rural life.  Sally swears she saw a Wolf on the side of the road.  We rolled in at 10:30 PM in a thick fog.  Quaint place with rooms for two but no WiFi.  I am on my tablet on a very limited data plan so no pictures until we can get to a cafe with better bandwidth.  Sleep alludes me so I had better try to close my eyes.
