First proper update

Hi all

Finally got internet access and time to add photos, so here's the first real update of the trip. In the first four days we covered 8 countries, driven over 1700 miles, and spent a lot of time on the autobahn. Unsurprisingly, we also found time to play s0me frisbee thanks to Flying Circus in Copenhangen.

Hopefully the facebook photos will be visable to everyone:

Countries visited so far:
England, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Denemark and Sweden (we don't think Legoland counts unfortunately). We also visited the original England, home of the Angles (or so we were told).

Highlights so far? Going around the Nurbugring in a 45bhp tincan of a car was exciting to say the least. I was glad i packed my brown pants anyway. The bridges across Denmark and Sweden were pretty cool, although the AX didn't perform too well in the cross-winds. And basically we've just be chimping around doing lots of random detours.

Spotters badge to Berry for finding this official photo of us going around the racetrack. Notice the difference of expressions between Matt and myself...

So today's a rest day in Stockholm so we'll try to see some of the city, before heading off to Northern Sweden tomorrow. Next rest day is in Finland so we'll add some more photos there. In the meantime, enjoy our random tweets!
