On the Road!

Way to Home from Rota 2008 - Day 8

After getting out from the ferry in the morning at the Turku harbor, police was waiting everybody who was driving out from the ferry and they measured alcohol level for all the drivers. No issues for us so just heading towards Espoo and home using the fastest route.

Only 150 kilometers to drive which took us 1½ hours. Back home at 9:30 in the morning! Strange feeling to drive again in Finland, we had been over 4 weeks now On the Road...

This the route we took:

No stops on the way, just driving.

Once I got back to home, just took all the stuff out and went directly to local BMW dealer in Espoo to show my bike.

They took it in and after inspections the issue looked to be just to to tighten it again! So issue fixed, now hopefully for another 40 000 kilometers!

Next is to get my bike under work, wash it and change all the oils again, air, oil and fuel filters and to wait for the next chance to get On the Road!

Way to Home from Rota 2008, Day 7

In the morning I took a taxi to local BMW dealer where I left my bike yesterday evening to pick it up. They did not really find anything on it, so the journey continues.

Driving through Oresund Bridge from Denmark to Sweden is quite nice experience. Driving through Sweden to Stockholm using the fastest route is really boring, but we had no choice as our starting was closer to 11:00 because of my bike fixing.

We had ~650 kilometers driving for this day and we arrived in Stockholm Viking Line ferry terminal just before 19:00, ferry was leaving 20:10.

Here's the route we took:

Now we just relax in the ferry from Stockholm to Turku, Finland. According to timetable, we should be in Turku at 7:35 in the morning.

Ferry went from Stockholm via Mariehamn to Turku:

For next day we have a short ride from Turku back to home in Espoo.
