Ilona and I intended to go there as well, but as far as I can see the

weather doesn't look too good. It is quite a distance and the entire

route is forecasted with rain every day with no substantial improvement

in a short term. Of course it can mean just a shower here and there in

an otherwise blue sky, but it could also mean low ceiling, low

visibility, and too many showers to escape them. And we can't afford at

this moment to get stuck somewhere as our regular care-takers for our

animals are on vacation.

So, if anyone in Denmark, South Sweden, has some more insight in what is

to be expected I would like to hear, but based on the info I have right

now it looks like we're going to have to cancel this trip.

Frans,



Just curious - what animals you have? We have 

about 30 fishes in aquarium, a cat (a Swedish 

transvetite, original male Maine Coon but 

tranformed to female), five hens, three ducks and 

two miniature parrots.



BTW - when the weather is so and so - our habit is 

still to go. When doing so - you will find 

yourselves from anywhere and that is usually fun. 

The most important thing is just to move 

somewhere - and take care of course...see you 

somewhere...maybe in ESMB who knows...

We have 3 cats, about 10 chicken, and 6 horses. And of course many

autonomous animals like mice (despite the cats), owls, and probably a

lot of critters I even haven't heard off.

The cats are troublesome because if we leave then they start searching

for us (despite plenty of food), and if that doesn't succeed they try to

find another house. I guess they just want to sit on someone's lap.

The chicken can find food by themselves and don't seem to want to go

anywhere. They are easy.

The horses live outside on the pasture and are happy to take care of

themselves, but someone ought to keep an eye on them. We have two

stallions and if they escape they will create havoc. Sometimes the

horses wreck a fence and that could be bad.

Yes, usually it is our habit too. So far we always managed to visit the

places where we intended to go. But now we really want to be able to

return sunday afternoon, but (if we get there at all) we have to get

through quite a lot of bad weather.

Yesterday we had a lot of rain, more than I have seen in many years

before. It measured 80mm in just one evening, our house started leaking

everywhere (normally it doesn't). This crap is moving slowly to the

North East, just where we want to go, so we have to get through it, and

sunday (if we managed to succeed) we would have to get through it again.

If we don't make it, there is no alternative, no good weather to enjoy

anywhere in between. Just rain over the entire route. And it doesn't

look like we just have to wait one day for an improvement.

Flying should be fun, but this doesn't look funny at all.

I would love to go there (actually we bought Norwegian and Swedish maps

and are waiting for quite some time now to go in that direction) but it

just looks like it can't be done real soon.
