Day 15 - 24.12.2025 - The Wood Hotel to Bergen

Woke up at 05:00 AGAIN!! Went straight down and put BB on charge - as it was -9°C it took a while for her to heat the battery up so she could charge, but at this time of day it was nearly half price!!
Back to the apartment for breakfast shower and packing.
Left a 07:45, BB had a 1hr38min charge to 99%.
Weird thing was the further south we went the colder it became - the coldest we saw today was -16°C and the warmest we saw in the worlds longest road tunnel (24km) was 17°C!!.
Any way, I'm getting ahead, second charge was at 09:36 and was for 7mins at a huge 32 bay Supercharger.
Then onwards through the mountains...
Then we entered the world's longest road tunnel...
It was long, warm and with several stopping places (as above) - pretty awesome actually.
Then, when we came out there was a supercharger, and a little service area next to it doing real oven baked pizzas - they were huge and brilliant.
So charging stop 3, was only for 16mins, then I unplugged while we finished our food and drink...
During the rest of the journey we saw a pair of Moose from a distance!!
Then only one stop at a small Kiwi Supermarket to pick up some bits and use the loo, then non-stop until we got to our AirBnB in Bergen - will get photos tomorrow as we're both knackered today...

Day 5 - 14.12.2025 - near Utrecht (Netherlands) to Binderup (Denmark) near Lego House

Image
Woke up just before 07:00, so up, showered, breakfast and pack the car and off by 0900. A long day today - 3 countries - Netherlands to Germany to Denmark... 5 charging stops - although only needed 4, but worked on the principle to charge when we stop not just stop to charge. It appears that Big Blue CAN go further than my bladder! Getting old is fun - NOT!!! Stop 1 @ 10:07 for 14mins - in the Netherlands, this time the car needed a charge NOT me needing a comfort break! Stop 2 @ 12:26 for 8mins - in Germany, this time me NOT the car needing stop. Stop 3 @ 14:07 for 5mins - in Germany, was supposed to be a lunch stop, but the pizza machine wasn't working! So carried on as far as I could go. Stop 4 @ 14:50 for 34mins - in Germany and adjacent to a MaccieDs - finally! We were starving and both needed the loo! Again the car was ready before us!! Stop 5 @ 17:43 for 22 mins - in Denmark - we all needed a stop this time - I needed to partake and we needed enough ...

Day 12 - 21.12.2025 - Day trip to the Arctic Circle & saw the Aurora Borealis!

Image
Even though we didn't set an alarm we both woke before 6 - lazy breakfast, Cast a couple of episodes of 'Camp Cretaceous', showered and left about 09:45 for Mo I Rana and charging, stopping to admire the views along the way... Stop 1 @ Mo I Rana for 23mins, then off to The Arctic Circle Centre.... Roads were the same as last night (IE snowy and inch thick ice in places), but without rain, but having been gritted, then we positively blasted along at around 50mph!! Just over an hour later and we arrived at the centre... It was cold, about -5°C and the sky was clear... And even though it was only 12:15 it was already getting dark!! It had taken 2479 miles, 8 different countries, a channel crossing (by train), £270 of Supercharging & 12 days to get here, but it was worth it! Only stopped for about 10mins as it was -5°C, then headed back to the charger at Mo I Rana. ...

Day 4 - 13.12.2025 - Day trip to Amsterdam

Image
We were up and ready to go by 0900, so off we went to Amsterdam with the intention of parking adjacent to a park near the city centre. With a quick charge on the way in at a Tesla Supercharger. When we arrived, we found plenty of on-street parking, but could we find a parking meter.... anywhere? Could we f***! So a quick search on a parking app I had found last night called ParkBee, found us an underground secure parking for 24 cars nearby for only €14.85 for 5 hours. Got there in 5 mins, opened the gates from the app, parked up and walked out, shutting the gate behind us (again - from the app) - so cool! Then we walked along the Amstel River into Amsterdam Central, past all the house boats and the locks that make the dam on the Amstel (hence Amsterdam - apparently). We visited a bakery then headed into the oldest part of the city... We headed into Chinatown and found a little restaurant called New King...
