Around the World in 80 Countries

We arrived back home! Safely! Herbie made it again – and this while pulling a caravan the long way round Africa. Our dream of traveling this last missing continent (except Antarctica of course) became actually reality.

Getting new bearings

On our way back to the South we had to change the inner front bearing on the left side. In a town called Rugby (where football/rugby was invented) we found we needed – a shop for air-cooled VW spare parts – Status VW.

Not only Herbie wants to go camping…

Coming from Sweden we had to go across three pretty expensive bridges in Denmark to reach Germany where we brought Evi to the main train station in Hamburg in order for her to go home. On the same day we saw another young couple with an old VW Bug and Read more…

Herbie in Norway

Quite chilly days we had here way up North in Norway and the other countries. And we thought the Scandinavians would be warm in summer. We’ve already driven more than 5000 kilometers on our trip across Europe.

Going on the ship to Finland

Finally we got a ticket on one of the ships going from Tallinn (Estonia) to Helsinki. We were amazed how many vehicles could fit in such a “ferry”. After two hours on board we reached our destination: Finland.

The Baltic’s

We are already far away from home – sitting at the harbor of Tallinn (Estonia) waiting for a ship to get over to Helsinki (Finland). In the meantime we met another kind of a Herbie replica. The guy is working for a driving school in Finland. Yes, in Herbie! Border Read more…

The engine

Herbie No II is powered by a 1600i (injection) motor built in Mexico and installed by our dear friend and air-cooled Volkswagen enthusiast Meister Friedrich Hübsch. The only motor oil we use on our trips around the world – a fully synthetic 5w-50.
