Rita and I arrived back home last night after a fantastic weekend in Geiranger.
It was a pleasure to get to know you all and I'm pretty sure you'll see most of you people again.

Alone we go faster, together we go further

Me and Hendrik arrived safely after 580 km in Stavanger, have seen a few of you guys on their way south. Amazing roads...! Forget about the Atlantic way... Its boring! The road from Bergen to Stavanger with its stunning bridges is a piece of civil engineering way beyond that of the Atlantic Road.

Dear friends.

AnneGro and I had a looong and good sleep, and we had a relaxing breakfast together with a few other sleepers. We left Hotel Geiranger at noon together with Kristin and Tore. At our first coffee break we met Madero and Yvonne, and we could say goodbye one more time!
We had a portion of Sour Cream Porridge with butter, sugar, cinnamon and raisins at the small Valdresflya cafe. Mmmmmm...
After picking up our car at Oslo Airport Gardermoen we arrived in Oslo, and luckily there was a cold Champagne in the fridge. We could celebrate that it's over without any accidents.

Thank you very much for participating the VCIM16 in Geiranger!
Thank you all for making this a successful VCIM.
Thank you very much for all gifts!! Both the well-tasting (shared with the orgateam), the good-smelling, the useful, the humorous and the traditional.

Now we look forward to meet you all again - at the Swedish National meeting XL-träffen in August, the British National meeting VUK2014 in September and of course at VCIM17 in May2015.

By the way - We missed a participant from Slovakia.
When I visited the campsite this morning, I passed this car.
Maybe he stayed there... :-)



Take care!

Wolf and I are still on route. Yesterday Ulvik / thx to Rune's hint to take the scenic road behind Stryn - that was worth it 10000% !!!! - today we are in Haugesund. Strted with a sunburn in the face and finished with storm and heavy rrain the last 40km - but stayed dry inside. If that was the only rain ...  ;D

Now enjoying good food at Egon's.

Tomorrow going through the mainland again to a place somewhere in a national park somewhere way south of Stavanger. By a lake. Need to buy beer first - nothing out there in the wild  8)

It is just beautiful! Thank you so much for making us come here!
