5 Countries in 4 Weeks

And we're back. This year we managed to cross the border of 5 countries in nearly 4 weeks, though we cheated a bit... by putting those mopeds on huge floating machines, called boats, but yes, we had to, they don't float really good by themselves.

As you can see we headed to Kiel, Germany the first week and took a boat to Goteborg, Sweden where we drove around the Svanern lake, passing Orebro, almost made it to Stockholm (but we took a left heading for Karlstad...)

A few days after Karlstad we passed the 'Riksgrans' from Sweden/Norway, heading for Oslo...


In Oslo, we took a boat to Copenhagen (we didn't go there on the way up here, so why not on the way back) where we drove to the west, camped on the Samso Island beach and a day after that we entered:

OMG! That was so much fun... you can read all about it in a journal (I will put it online as soon I finished it) and a few days after we enjoyed ourselves playing with Lego we went to Esbjerg, where we took a boat to Harwich, England. After spending some time in English pubs we went back taking a boat from Harwich to Hoek van Holland !

Windy Windmill (3)

On Tuesday the 28th of October the Windy Windmill team had a meeting with the communication & strategy department of Eneco. It seems the story will get a follow up...

To make a long story short, Windy Windmill is a conceptual character for children, along with Zeta Zonnepaneeltje (Seta Solar screen) and Wilbert Waterrad they save the world from evil like Olga Oil and Ali Atom.

See also my previous posts about windy windmill...

The concept was developed in a battle for Eneco (Benelux Power provider) within BattleofConcepts.NL and won 2nd prize, which should be 1st according to Eneco.
This week there are several new meetings coming up with interesting parties where aswell my possible internship would appear. Cool!
