My European Tour Part 3 (with lots of pics)

Finland-Sweden-Norway
After getting the boat back to Sweden and arriving in Kappelskar, i met another one of our drivers waiting for the boat out, so after a chat with him i joined the E18 and followed it from start to finish, starting from when i got off the boat finishing in Oslo, simple!

en route

stopping for an hour break, looking down on this

Arrived at the border to do a carnet as Norway is not in Europe

all done and into Norway for the first time

Part of my load flew from Finland to Iceland for a gig, so i headed for the airport, finding a cozy services to hole up for a couple of days, all this was done in the dark so this was the only pic i got of that part of the trip

Inbetween reading books and watching dvd’s i kept an eye out for the trucks, here are some of them…

Kim Johansen from Denmark


Dutch R500

VN from Holland













this tanker driver was on his phone from arrival to departure, including when discharging his diesel




Polish driven Norwegian reg’d M.A.N



so 2 days later i go to the airport, pick up my gear and park at the unloading area, which unfortunatly for me is on a busy crossroads with my cab bang next door to a cafe full of shouting immigrants (well it was during the day!)

After that, i head down to Helsingborg for the 20min ferry to Helsingor

and arrive in Denmark
And here i am until later when ive got 2 days to get to Holland (ive got a permit for Sunday)

Im going blind, dont know why, must be all the time alone with my curtains shut, and im getting into Heavy metal, so ive decided to grow my hair, it didnt take long…

thats it so far…

Interesting pics and write up thanks

great diary mate good pics aswell.

Intresting diary with some nice pics,i envy you travelling to some of those

I feel very lucky doing so, i never thought id ever get to drive to Finland or Norway, or some of the other places i will be going in the next 2 months, eg. Turkey (mind you theres one or two that i havent really got any interest in going to, Albania for a start) its all an adventure i suppose!

Quality photos and diary. I’m pretty sure that i have seen some of your vehicles round donington park for the download festival.

good read and pics mate.
reminds me of my spell at transams in 2006.
really enjoyed it, got too see some great places, (road too bergen) is a slog, and meet some real charecters.
