Day 2: From France to Edinburgh - RoadTrip to Scotland

Day 2: From France to Edinburgh - RoadTrip to Scotland

What a day :) We've reached Edinburg! - although we've left Austria only yesterday :)

But let's start in the morning right away ;)

This time we have started our trip at 7 am at Dunkerque, France. After a short trip of about 30min we have reached Calais and the EuroTunnel itself :D





The French and British border check was quite smooth ;) - both on the French side of the EuroTunnel ;)

Yes, what you see now is the train to Great Britain... damn narrow...


about 1-2 cm on the left side of the car and...

about 7-8 cm on the right side ;) Quite funny to drive inside this train ;)




After reaching England our first stop brought us above the round a about of London to the "Food Court" of Bishop's Stortford :) The "Food Court" is really like in the US :D


A lot of fog around London ;)





Next stop Grantham or in German "grantiger Schinken" ;)



After the second charging in the UK with only <15min we drove on to Scotland :D :D :D





The weather was changing every 15min but the landscape and its people are simply awesome :) Thank you Scotland!





and now finally we made it to Edinburgh :D



More pictures of Edinburgh will come tomorrow. Today we've simply enjoyed this wonderful and awesome city including the cap drivers ;)

Stay tuned for pictures and stories about Edinburgh tomorrow.

Day 1: Graz -> Dunkerque - Roadtrip to Schottland

Day 1: Graz -> Dunkerque - Roadtrip to Schottland

To say it straight: yes we drove today more than 1.300km and we have reached France :)

But let us start slowly or better said early.... we started our trip (with initial destination Carlais) at ~5 o'clock in the morning ;)


Fist stop was already in Liezen, since I didn't have the time to charge the car the day before :/




After a short charging break, we moved on to Regensburg and Geiselwind.




Next Charging stop was then already in Belgium, Machelen. Although the charger was somehow in an industrial area, the charger itself was really nice.





and quite close to a channel :)

To reach Dunkerque we had to charge a last time in Gent. A really crazy and very busy SuperCharger ;) See for your self ;)



but very busy all the time - although 12 stalls have been open...

Finally we made it to Dunkerque :) Afterwards some impressions from our short walk ;)
