TDB2015 prologue: go!
First update for TDB2015: JC picked up TW560 Sunday afternoon and drove to Lörrach without any problems. Currently, both TW560 and JC are on a Finnline Ferry to Helsinki – a 29 hour trip.

(When it’s no longer tracking me in Italy) We are really looking forward to our newest TWIKE adventure!
