Today started out like any other day. I ate breakfast, packed my luggage & loaded the car. I drove away from the ZZZleep Hotel (inexpensive Danish hotel chain) thinking that I would never come back. Well, I’m still here in Alborg. My plan for today was to take the ferry north across the sea to Norway. My Volvo does float like a boat, so I have to stay in Denmark for 1 more day. The 12:15 boat does not run on Monday & the only one to leave Hirtshals, Denmark was full & scheduled to leave at 8 pm. Taking 4 hours to get to Noeway, meant arriving there at about midnight. Let’s see my hotel is a 200 mile drive on small twisting roads. Maybe I could have made by 5am. Well I stewed in the car thinking of my options. I decided to eat the first motel cost (too late to cancel without a penalty charge) & take the 12:15 boat tomorrow. I did some calculations & route planning back at the ZZZleep Hotel. I spent a good part of the afternoon making new hotel reservations. The good news is that I was able to get hotels in Bergen & Stavanger at a rate cheaper than I could have several days ago. In fact, I couldn’t book any hotels in these places several days ago. So I’m all set to go again tomorrow. Wish me luck. I walked to the near by gas station where I was supposed to find a phone & purchase a Danish phone card (no phones at the low cost hotel) to call & cancel two of the remaining hotel reservations. No luck there. Fortunately a Mr Anderson overheard my converstion & offered me the use of his cell phone to call the Norway hotels. Thank you very much Henrik.
