Arendal, Norway - Saturday 28 March 2008 - We almost made it "home"...

Alex with his diva and me with Betsy were on a comfortable drive towards Arendal and my friends Betta and Leif Christian when we came to a halt ... again! Never before have I been at a more "perfect" spot when breaking down. Although windy and icy conditions, I was flocked by friends as we had another real axel incident close to Grimstad in Norway.

The funny part of this breakdown was that Betsy stopped 300 meters away from one of cape2cape's support officers, Stein R Jenssen. He have regularly been helping me with intricate car issues during the trip but we have never met in real life... before now.
