Departure

We had a busy couple of weeks preparing everything. We went on a test drive up to Röa that went surprisingly well considering all the luggage. We were pleasantly suprised at the speed we could get up (along the flat). Ann Kristin (Iren´s sister) and the family organized a farewell dinner around at Iren´s parents. It was nice to see them all before leaving the next day.

Our flight left at 07:05 which meant we had to leave the house at  03:30 and since we didn't get to bed until 01 we were rather pleased that Torfinn (Iren's brother in-law) offered to drive us to the bus stop.

At the airport we were pleasantly surprised to be sent off by two of Phil's work colleagues, Hanna and Roy, who helped us as we checked in the bikes in their cardboard boxed and all the other luggage.
The flight went well and the bikes were unharmed when we put them together again in Dusseldorf at the very friendly Schäfer Gästehaus.
