Day 14: Oslo (Norway) → Kiel (Germany) 🛳️

oday is a "sail" day where we take the ferry between Oslo and Kiel, Germany – which takes twenty hours.

Our hotel is very close to the port and when we drive out of the tunnel linking the underground parking with Oslo, we immediately see our boat in the distance.

A few minutes later, we're in the queue.

Boarding by the bow doors.

Squeezing between the trucks.

Until we're safely parked up.

Taking the busy elevator to deck 11 to our cabin.

Which had been upgraded – for free – by Color Line to their "suite" class.

Which comes with plenty of amenities and supplies for the trip.

We watch from our window disembarking from port – reversing out before turning around to sail south.

Enjoying watching the Oslofjord pass by.

Once we leave the protection of the fjord – what was already a windy day picks up – and when out in the open seas – we really start to experience the storm.

We hadn't really been taking notice of the weather forecast and had gone to eat some food shortly after setting off. We'd pay for this overnight with severe enough sea sickness.

As we publish this – the sea has calmed down and we're about two hours away from docking at Kiel – where we have a long autobahn journey to catch our next boat at Hook of Holland.

We only drove about 650 meters today – so no trip stats.
