Prikka's diary: Me returning to UK

My 2600 km journey, including spending 13 hours in three ferries, started Tuesday afternoon from Jyväskylä. At six o'clock we had a tiny outing in Aura an hour before Turku, our destination. Unluckily my folks did not stop by the Castle of Turku before hurrying to harbour, I would have preferred the walks on the lawn instead the tarmac! What a wasted hour, anyway we had to be there an hour, now it was two! Well the pic tells, I quite did not like the 10 hour ferry journey. At least we had a nice cabin where as we had to stay in the car for the rest of the ferries. In the picture we are somewhere close to Lidingö when arriving to Stockholm.

Helsingbor from the castle, on the sea there is a ferry coming from Helsingor

In Stockholm we got out of the harbour 6:30. Then we drove on hour to see something green around us. We finally stopped on the lawns of of a sport center (I definetly could not use the rest room in the ferry, neither do anything in the tarmac in the harbour), we had a nice walk around the sport field and got our lunch, too). Then we just drove through Sweden with couple of lousy stops on our way, one a clock we reached Helsingborg, some of us had their lunch (some of us not) and a nice tour around the castle etc before taking the ferry to Helsingor. We just got to the harbour and ferry left in four minutes!

Finally by the sea at our camping

In the morning at Vicaer Camping

Romo

After crossing the sea between Sweden and Denmark we just headed (with one tiny stop) for our destination to southern Jutland. The traffic around Copenhagen slowed down our arrival an hour, so we were in the Vikær Strand Camping around seven o'clock, anyway more than hour to walk on the beach in the daylight, well deserved after 12 hours in the car. Here we rested one whole day by visiting the real Atlantic in Römö, on the western side of Jutland. Huge, huge, enormous beaches kilometres long and wide!

Leaving Denmark camping

In Calais 

Next morning the journey continued again at six o'clock. Another day with temperatures above 30, kind of hot outside the car, so nothing but crazy driving through Germany, Netherlands, Belgium to Calais. There we were twelve hours later and had a stupid walk around the harbour area. For the first time of my life I got a sad glance of refugee life seeing the huge camp outside the harbour and the harbour was thoroughly fenced. Again two hours in the harbour before the ferry left for England. There were lots of dogs by the way. All the cars with the dogs were on the same lane/line.
Arrived to UK after sunset, 8:30, so we did not enjoy the walk by the white cliffs, instead on the dark countryside a little bit further from the Dover. Luckily, no interruptions on our way to Cambridge, we passed London smoothly and were by our new house at eleven o'clock. Finally, 17 hours in the car is a LOT!

We are now living in the black buildings by the church.

My new home until mid December

Sometimes you just enjoy the running and freedom more than usually.

New familiar scene, Jinga and me on the other side of the church next to us.

The closest sheep live behind the houses just across the street 

The cup of tea house, where the missus was offered nice cup of tea on her last stay, now it is just around the corner.

I guess I am going to enjoy my life in here!
