The journey has finally started! After almost a months detour and horribly 6000 kilometres and visiting two tiny Kingdoms, we are turning around and heading north with enthusiasm and hope to reach the Norwegian border in October 2008.

Betsy has managed very well and I must say that the co-pilot Tore Auset also has turned out to be a magnificent co driver and companion. The funny side of driving a car like this, is that she turns many heads around as she floats through villages and cities. I don't think it is Tores moustache alone that get people smiling, cheering and waving as we pass by.

I don't know if I should feel bothered by all the men she attracts attention to, but I have come to the conclusion that I should be proud as long as they don't start touching her. THEN I will point my pepper spray straight into their faces. Happy reading!
