Trondheim - Bordeaux: 7 days

How do you say 'I made it!' in french? At a little over 11 last night Freik and me were dropped off at the airport. He still has to get to Portugal in time, but the lady who drove us could not find a truck stop, so I had company still until the morning came, when it was time for him to keep trying his luck. I hope you made it in time, man!

As for me, it's time to enjoy the end of the journey. I'm at the airport to book tickets early to save on the price, so i'll still have time to enjoy the sun. Right now I definitely feel like I could do another 4-6 weeks easily. Even though I just woke up from 5 hours' sleep, my back is shot, and I only have stale pastries left, the knowledge that I could get to anywhere in the world virtually for free is an exciting notion. I can say that right now: I definitely overprepared for this trip. I could do with a lot less and therefore also lighter equipment. The things that I DID use though, worked excellently. From the clothes to the Jerven bag, I did stay warm, dry, and comfortable.

It's getting busy in the airport. Just a couple of more hours and I can contact Berg Hansen for the tickets home. I'll try to get some more rest.
