My buddy Niels and I decided during our military service as a Marine Corps at Naval Station Grønnedal, Greenland 1 November 1964 - 15 August 1965 that we would travel "Around the World Stop". raynox We end our 12-month military service in the Navy 25 august 1965. I paid my savings in the Army and serve as extra for the journey as a substitute teacher at Aarhus School Systems until our departure from Denmark in late September 1965. All in all, I have 4000 in your pocket or rather exchanged for "traveler Cheques" of dollars in leather pouch around your neck BEFORE the shirt when I Saturday 25 September leaving my childhood city of Aarhus and take the "stop" to Paramaribo. Niels and I meet early Monday morning, 27 Sept. at the ferry landing in Rodby to take the ferry to Germany. We start with exit via Rodby-Fehmarn 27 September 1965 and "stop" the next 2 months around Europe: Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and the Netherlands.
"- What do you say so. A one stop direct from Puttgarten to Essen. Started 10.30 - in Essen pm. 17.20 to 600 kilometers in one stretch. Cracking start. In the morning of Archen / Liege / Reines, then we will see how far we get. As I said, all is well. Has it really well. Erik. "
"- Tra-tra - Brussels - 1.5 today. It's almost too successful. We arrived in the afternoon at. 16.30 - started from Denmark early one morning in Brussels next afternoon. Ca va! Never have I been surrounded by so much French - I can not boast of having been in these parts before! Brussels raynox is a great city. We have found - or rather him we drove to stop've found a cheap student hotel - inexpensive it is. The price includes breakfast + lunch, a total of 10 ( 72 Belgian francs). In the middle of the city at Brussels Champs Elysee: Rue Louise. Student hotel is noger really old something, high ceilings with 12 beds and a single large lamp in the ceiling. And then there is a large balcony outside - but I have most the impression that they use it as a storage room! A large iron gate you have to go through to get into. It all smells a little of Paris, which incidentally the great boulevards, wide and with trees also do. Mighty traffic. They run exactly as they want. When the speed limit of 60 km puts the move up from 110 km / h to 120! On the new autobahn from Cologne to Liege past we had to drive 140 kilometers per hour. Race tired we are. We started from Essen pm. 8.30 bus ride from Wuppertal to get out to the Autobahn. Race difficult - it took 2 hours and could not be easier. The bus swung in small hairpin bends - the 20 km took the first hour. Then with "Swebenbahn" in Wuppertal and finally by bus to the entrance of the autobahn Cologne-Aachen. We came up with the number 2 car - he was going to Frankfurt - therefore we were near Cologne dropped off at the "unfolding" from Aachen. Of late we discover that it was not an unfolding, but a regular continuation of the autobahn. So when we had stopped there for half an hour we gave up. The cars drove too fast and did not dare stop. There we were. In the middle of a grid system of intersecting autobahner with Cologne Cathedral in the distance. Well - we got shit on a field - freshly plowed - 'toil dirty we were after 1 km walk. From there we found a new gateway to a new autobahn to Cologne - the bell was about to be 12! Quickly back up and to the approach road we were looking raynox for Aachen. Phew - now had it then! There were only 80 km from Aachen. But no - we stood in the full 2.5 hours of time. 14:30 before a Belgian stopped and we came with. He was mighty nice and drove us all the way to Brussels, ca. 240 km. But when we were down in the dumps! We had nothing to eat - we did not eat from 8 am tomorrow pm. 19 here in Brussels. We feared that we would spend the night in Cologne. But lucky were we all. It means that we have had 3 stops from Puttgarten to Brussels: a Danish - a German and a Belgian. But it's autobahn that saves us! For better or worse! Have only spent about. 14 mark - but now we have to turn eaten a good meal at night. We are here in Brussels tomorrow. We can just as well, since it's a s
