People say that it’s the journey and not the destination that makes traveling so much fun. I very much agree and therefore I am going to St. Gallen by car, instead of flying. Not only will this allow me to spend two days watching scenic parts of Autobahn in Germany. This way I also get to bring my bike and other heavy and cumbersome objects that would have been difficult to get on the plane. Since I don’t have a car of my own or a driver’s license I owe a great debt of gratitude to my mom who has been persuaded to drive me down.
You are of course welcome to join us, albeit only virtually. Turn on some German music or a Swiss language course (that is what we will listen to in the car) and track our progress as we head south. Our intenarary is as follows:
Depart from Stockholm around lunchtime and arrive in Göteborg some six hours later. (Map)
In Göteborg we have to Check in at our ferry by no later than 19:00. This night-ferry will then take us (Map) to Kiel in northern Germany. Arrival is expected to 09:00 on Saturday morning. We then drive (Map) to Glandorf to visit an old friend of the family. It is unclear how long we will stay. May just an hour for tea or maybe we will even spend the night. Who knows?
Afterwards we will head south (Map) and travel as far as possible to St.Gallen. Depending on the time spent in Glandorf we will reach St.Gallen either Sunday lunchtime or late in the night.
And then the adventure begins.

Ha en härlig resa, Lill-Patrik!
Ser fram emot att kolla in vad du upplever framöver.
Själv drar jag till Malaysias östkust om två veckor för närkontakt med hajar, sköldpaddor och tropisk värme.
Hej
Ich versuchs mal auf deutsch ;)
In St.Gallen wird meines Wissens ja auch deutsch geredet. Schade, dass du jetzt gerade in die Schweiz gegangen bist, da ja in zwei Wochen die NC3 ist und ich hier in Stockholm bin und auch auf der NC3 sein werde....
Schade Schade
Ich hoffe du lässt es dir gut gehen.
Ich werde evtl. ab und zu mal hier vorbeischauen :)
Ein Schweden in der Schweiz

Hey Patrik,
Cindy here. Just wanted to thank you for your showing me around sweden last week, and I hope you'll receive the same hospitality from the Swiss ( whom I think are known for their friendliness). Leaves a msg every now and again!
Hallo Patrick,
I guess you probably thought i was out of Suisse already. Anyways...got a job as a consultant with the International Trade Centre (UNCTAD/WTO) and ever since remained in Geneva.
Good to know you'll be coming around...i have never visited St. Gallen though but gathered it is a great place and the LC is meant to be nice as well. Suisse...am sure you know how pleasant it could be already.
Enjoy your trip and probably see you sometimes soon in St. Gallen or Geneva.
Bonne voyage.

Men Puttenutt, ska du ut i världen igen? Jag är lite förvånad över att du ska till Schweiz och inte typ Tchad. Ha det bra i backen!
Hej Patrik. Har hittat hit och kommer jämföra med min egen termin i Gallan för fyra år sen. Du valde coolare transportsätt i alla fall...
Hey Patrik!!
Just wanted to wish you good luck!
Enjoy!!!
We will miss u in cold Sweden...
Many hugs
Emma
Hey Patrik,

Cheers
Amit
