We rode north to Puttgarden and took the ferry to Denmark. Arriving at the dock there was a huge line that did not move for about 20 minutes and then did so very slowly. That said once we had a ticket we loaded directly on the boat for the 40-minute crossing. It is a very windy bleak day in the south of Denmark as we drove north on the highway. There are no hotels along this route until you get to Copenhagen where we stayed for the night.

A big thank you so much to REV’it and especially to Rineke their head of Marketing for their generous support of our World Wide Ride. Opening this box and finding two Defender Pro GTX suits was better than Christmas. It was sad to say goodbye to our trusty 4-year-old Defender suits since they had performed so well, but a new suit is a beautiful thing! We were happy to see some of the new features including the redesigned and longer vents on the forearms, the improved closure system at the wrists, and the new covered front zipper. They also have the new SEEFLEX CE-level 2 flexible protection system!

For the weekend we had a borrowed RV and we went to the coast at Smögen. This is a beautiful seaside summer retreat.

There is a really big event today as we will finally meet Gene and Neda from Lightcycle. We have been communicating on line since we all left on our trips 3 years ago, but despite that we had never met them in person. We have on several occasions been a few days apart in the Americas. Orvar and Sara rode out to meet them.

We repeated some of our city tour for them and then had a big BBQ.

We took the small roads for the most part, but we did have to do some time on the highway. It was pretty anticlimactic when we crossed the border there is not even a welcome sign. The route we followed was to near Oslo and then south to Larvik. This route avoided the city, but involved our first Norwegian ferry. It was 44 K (6 to1) for each bike for the 5-minute crossing.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
