Jens M. HansenAfter a couple of days in Odense in good friends company, with barbecue and saying farewell to Hassan, Jens and their friends, I packed the bike a headed North to visit Miss Viborg, a good friend of mine ;oP Of cause this was not the intended route, but what the heck, you never let a nice lady down. Stayed there for one day seeing Hald Lake and the Dollerup Hills, one of many spectacular sites in Denmark, I can be proud of as a Dane. My friend Marlene and I went on the VFR around the local areas of Viborg, visiting her mom and a German cemetary, as on this day it was the Danish Liberation day 4th May 1945, exactly 64 years ago that the WW2 ended.
My new friendsOn the 5th of May I went from Viborg, Denmark south down to the German border, to go to Kiel. The German department of the motorcycle club, Rotterne Midgaard MC had invited me to overnight in their clubhouse, as this is part of the “One day rule in every country”.
Reaching Kiel, after driving the hole day, I park the bike in front of the clubhouse, and got a beer right away. Nothing better than a cold beer after a long day in the saddle. Afterwards the guys helped me unload the VFR, and park it in their new build shelter. I finally got installed with all my belongings. After a good solid meal, we spend the whole evening drinking beers and talking. Farewell noteThanks to all the guys in Rotterne Midgaard MC Kiel, Germany. It was a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to stay in your club in Kiel on my first night in a foreign country. I will remember you guys for ever. I woke up to a nice breakfast and coffee supplied by Dietsch and his friends from the club.
Day 6 of my journey I was heading to a good friend of mine, Matheu Swartjes, living close to Nijmegen, in a small village called Beuningen in The Netherlands. Drove from Kiel around noon, going through the north-west part of Germany. First thing to get   on arrival was a Wieckse Witte bier straight from the barrel. So now I’m in Beuningen, The Netherlands in good hands and well supplied by my friend Matheu. He has also sponsored me a new hard drive and memory for the Medion Akoya laptop. He cleaned the laptop, before staring on replacing the memory. It was pretty messy inside, after one year of use, sorry Mat’. I will do some different maintenance on the bike, like checking oil, and also planning on changing the Matheu Swartjestyre’s as well. I will stay here until Monday or Tuesday next week. After that I will head for Belgium, to do an overnight there, before going for the Germany border again.
The clock is now 02.05 am. Matheu and I spend the day in the city, where we walked around, him waiting for me all the time, as I had to take “some” pictures ;oP We enjoyed a good meal and a weiss bier. Did some grocery shopping, and finally went home for a nice cup of coffee and of cause one more weiss bier.
The exact route, taking me from Odense, Funen to Beuningen, The Netherlands can been seen on, click the link: EveryTrail.com .
More news to come from Beuningen, The Netherlands. Until then Matheu and I say Prost!

  3. The Hagelslag were good, think I will go for a couple more of these, while I have the opportunity. But you got it all wrong, shouldn’t it be going on the ice cream? Up north we use this on the childrens ice creams.

  4. Don’t mention the coffee, hehe. Of cause I go for the strong one, but not as the first thing in the “mornings” or should we be more specific , around 10 or 11 am. Like to avoid any accidents in my pants ;oP
