Today was our big drive day. Our end destination was Rødby in Denmark, which was about 8-9 hours from Trier (including a 45min ferry trip). Again, the traffic gods did not smile on us, and despite leaving the apartment at 8am, we did not arrive at the German ferry terminal at Puttgarden until 6pm. The drive that should have taken 7 hours, ended up taking 10 hours.
We did do a brief detour into Köln (Cologne) to see the RheinEnergie Stadium, home of the Bundesliga team FC Köln. We only spent about 5 minutes there as the stadium was closed for maintenance.

When we arrived at Puttgarden and headed to the Border Shop while we waited for our ferry. The Bordershop is a duty free shop on a former Scandlines Ship, with 8,000 square meters of space. One floor is dedicated to beers, another to wine and spirits and a third to confectionary and other items like toothpaste, cables, toys etc.

| The Highland Park Scotch Display |
 |
| Not the most expensive scotch in the border shop (that is a 50yr old Balvenie at 33,500 euros ( AUD$55,422), but at 17,999.95DKK this 25year old The Macallan is AUD$4000) |
 |
| Anyone for a 4.5L bottle of vodka? |
 |
| Or a massive toblerone (the disappointing part is its filled with 48 small ones, its not one huge one) |
 |
| This wine was pretty rude to hippos |
After the border shop, we jumped on the 7pm ferry and had a buffet dinner on board as we sailed from Germany to Denmark.
 |
| Our haul from the bordershop - and, yes we did travel the whole way across the world to buy a South Australian wine.. |
Our destination was Lalandia, a water park in Denmark that will be our home for the next two nights until we head home to Sweden
