At the start of the holiday

This is the diary that we kept during our 6 week trip around Scandinavia. We wanted to show all those sceptics what can be achieved with a folding camper

Thursday 19 June

We packed up at Copenhagen in the rain, after collecting our sick car the afternoon before. ..... 184 miles to catch the ferry home. We made it safely and joined the queue, along with bikers, scooterists and Morris Minor enthusiasts going to a 60th anniversary rally in England. It was now time to say goodbye to Denmark and a really enjoyable, interesting 6 weeks.

To anyone thinking of doing a similar journey, we would say 'go for it, you will not regret it'...it was certainly not a sit-on-the-beach-in-the-sun type of holiday, but that is what suits us.

We mainly used Camping Cheques or Camping Card sites in order to keep the cost down, and took quite a lot of basic provisions such as coffee, tea, cereals, rice, pasta and wine boxes with us.
Petrol stations were a bit few and far between so we made a point of always starting a tow day with a full tank. Most of them were unmanned , so we had to use our debit/credit card quite a bit and we found that Visa was not always accepted, but Mastercard was fine. A lot of the expense was either road tolls or small ferries across the fjords when the road ran out.

If anyone wants to contact us with any questions please feel free to email us.... (thetravelmoores@gmail.com)

We have a spreadsheet of all the costings that we can email to anyone interested.
