Logical Turtle: January 2017

Day 12 - Stavanger - Karlskoga.

Scenery along the E18 in Sweden is very similar to the one you can find in Estonia, except for different roadside fences. 😊

Hotel owner / manager definitely wasn't happy to see me (or maybe he just had a shitty day for other reasons).

Start 10:53 - finish 21:50, Almost 11 hours of driving (except 2 stops and the ferry). Navigator's estimated time was quite correct 😊

Daily mileage: 759 km

Day 13 - Karlskoga - Stockholm

Because of my search for a shopping mall, I found myself in Stockholm suburbs. Comparing to that, 'multi-cultural' stuff I've seen in Norway so far, is really nothing. Guys in hoodies driving a Merc with license plate something like 'Jamal', I thought those existed only in rap music videos.

Arrived at the ferry port well in advance (check-in was closed). Logic of the queues was quite different from the one I've seen in Norway. At first you see several lines with 'Tallinn' sign above them, by 'norwegian' logic I get to empty line, then - fuck, line ends and sign above it is already different. Well, reverse back to full lane.

Daily mileage: 254 km

Day 14

Unloading - more than half an hour after scheduled time. It's a bit disappointing to be in car 'on time' (even a bit before), only to sit in it for like 40 minutes 😒
On the other side - guys from BMW, which was in nearby line, seemingly decided not to hurry, so when their lane finally started moving there wasn't anybody in the car. Loadmaster was really happy about it (sarcasm)

Finally, home sweet home 😃

Daily mileage: 197 km
