In Denmark the wind was so terrible, that suddenly the motorway turned into a single lane road as the snow blocked the other one. The caravan went on in four wheel slide through Denmark. In the beginning, Germany seemed to be okay. The roads were dry and the joyrney went on smoothly... but we cheered too early. After a while the weather changed and it started to snow. It took only a while before some cars were fighting their life to get up the hills covered by snow. Judging by the looks, it seemed that we had the best tyres on the road! When the snowing ended we tought to be on a better side... but then it turned out that every other north european had decided to spend a christmas holiday at the Alps, especially Dutch people. Traffic jams were endless and with the snow starting to fall out again it didn't make things easier.
When we finally reached the French border, we ones again thought that the worst part was over. Finally it seemed that the amount of snow was decreasing and what more important, the roads were clean and there were no traffic jams. But as before, it turned out to be calm before the storm. When we reached the southern part of France, the weather conditions changed ones again. Wind started to blow heavily.. and not just any kind of breeze but a kind of sudden storm wind, that almost lifted the other side of the caravan up in the air. At least it feeled like it! We were counting the kilometers to the Spanish border and to the final mountains, which would save us and change the climate.
And when we finally did, it was totally worth everything! The sun was shining from the bright blue sky, warming up us and our freezed caravan. You could see the beatiful mountains and turquoise see while enjoying a French chocolate filled croissant as breakfast. This is why it was worth suffering a long travel!
