Friday 24th January: Finally!!!

The Hague - Oldenzaal 204 km




After two years of preparing today was finally the  day! The raid has started for us.
Last couple of day had been pretty hectic and a bit stressful, I think until know we didn’t really realize that two raids ment two times the preparations. So more road-books to be filled with nice places to see,  but also two times the number of road-books to print and bind. That combined with Tanguy being away in Houston most of the times and being home only one week before today, and my own work (yesterday I had a 13 hour workday) made the last few day’s a bit less relaxed than we hoped. 

Some friends will take the stuff for the classic raid

Luckily i did all the other “normal” preparations well before, so this morning all I had to do was clean the house a bit (my brother is taking care of it during our holidays), do some last shopping and pack the car. 

Tanguy had to work so I did the last things myself. Around four Tanguy was also ready for today and we could leave.


All ready to be packed in the car


Ready to go

The first trip of  193 km went without problems and at 19:00 we arrived at the van Asperen house with cake, because (I almost forgot) today is also my birthday 🎂.

The organization 

We had a nice evening and now we are going to sleep. Tomorrow we head towards Poland, trying to go as far as we can in one day without stress. After that we have till Tuesday to get to Tallin and catch the ferry to Helsinki. 

Good night.
