  • Feb. 28, 2024, 2:34 p.m. - WE'RE HEREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Made it to Copenhagen - last message sorry it's not more witty. Team 28 signing off
  • Feb. 28, 2024, 12:35 p.m. - We're in Denmark! After a v smooth ride in the ferry (the channel, take notes) we are in our 6th and final country!!! (Although the guy I am sitting next to offered us a lift to Sweden and I am kinda tempted....) 2 hours out from Copenhagen and we are buzzing - also I had a SALAD for lunch so life = good
  • Feb. 28, 2024, 8:33 a.m. - Fourth german city of the day! In Hamburg, met some other racers, ready for our final free bus to Copenhagen!
  • Feb. 28, 2024, 6:32 a.m. - HAGGIS?! What an excellent what three words, not a fan of that word remove though.... on the move to Hamburg! Bus delayed but that doesn't stop us. Caused a small ruckus on the bus too, turns out on this one the seats are reserved huh. Anyways Hamburg bound, mildly delirious but excited to be on the road again. #freebusesbaby
  • Feb. 28, 2024, 3:24 a.m. - We're in another McDonalds! Two hour wait for next bus to Hamburg at 6 (cheers again Askin for the ticket). Turns out most of the people in Hannover train station at 4am are not people going on the train though... that's ok though as McDonalds is our new refuge for these hours and we are hoping Nick's cheeseburger purchase (classic American huh) will mean they do not kick us out. Psyched for Hamburg and psyched to stop transiently existing in a McDonalds
  • Feb. 28, 2024, 2:36 a.m. - Just about to arrive in Hannover - 2 hour wait for next bus and then onto Hamburg.

  • Feb. 27, 2024, 9:03 p.m. - Waiting for the bus to Hannover in Germany's most expensive McDonalds. €4 for an Oreo McFlurry feels like a small crime but after the highs of a guaranteed ride to Copenhagen nothing can get us too down

  • Feb. 27, 2024, 12:31 p.m. - 28 WE'RE IN GERMANYYYYYYY. Don't ask where, well you can see can't you... We've somehow ended yo at one of the largest trade centres in Europe but no need to ask questions huh. Thank you to Stein for the lift - northern germany hopefully here we come!!!!

  • Feb. 26, 2024, 8:17 p.m. - Oh shit we're in France. Where? Idk some service station mate. But we are in another country.
