5.2. Shit happen!.

Shit happen! Well, I do need money, and to get them I needed to look for an ordinary work and lucky as I was I found one in Sweden.
So I packed my old Camper with the most necessary, the bike, the bike trailer, some clothes, the book-keeping, my parapente and some other stuff.

I can not bring my wooden project this time, my hart is bleeding. I hope I can get down and get it within a couple of month.

Started the journey over the Alps, and in Sestriere the snow felt heavy. In June! At least 15 cm and my old vw was crawling slowly up to the crest at nearly 2000 metres above see-level.
Something was wrong with the car, as if it has lost the power. After some thinking I understood that the gas pedal was broken. Found some spear cable and some American silver tape and with my engineering skill the car was as new again!



Though,....at the border to Denmark, still in Germany, in the harbour at the ferry boarding park, the vw motor died and will never work again! The timing belt broke.



Depressed I packed the most necessary things on the bike trailer. All the time a Jack daw was sitting close to me and had full control of my packing, hoping to get some lost food from me I suppose.



To get rid of the frustration I biked crossing Denmark the next day, 200 km. In my memory Denmark is flat. Now I know that it is not, though I great and beautiful country for a bike holiday.
