Day 2: From Farö to Sarpsborg
June 6, 2009
Our alarm went off at 7 am. After a tasty breakfast with hot fresh coffee we started to our next destination. Because I'm getting seasick very bad I prefer driving through Sweden than taking the ferry from Hirtshals / Danmark to Kristiansand / Norway. I took it once and I swore myself not to do it again.
In Copenhagen you have to choose if you will take either the ferry from Helsingör to Helsingborg / Sweden or the new Öresundbridge from Copenhagen to Malmö / Sweden. This time we've choosen the ferry. I've never been seasick there since it's just a 20 minutes passage ;)
We drove the bridge last year and it's breathtaking. It wasn't an easy choice but money counts - as people say - the ferry is a bit cheaper than the toll for the bridge and it's about 50 km less driving.
The distance from Farö to Sarpsborg is about 600 km and we changed drivers twice and had a 1 hour rest for lunch. Around 5 pm we crossed the border of Norway. Every time I cross the border it's like comming home for me. Driving over the bridge at Svinesund is incredible. "Norway I'm back again :)"
At 6 pm we reached a small camp ground close to the city of Sarpsborg. I cooked a nice dinner and soon after that we went off to bed.
