Sorry for the delay with writing about the last day of the trip but I have to say following the wife around in an over crowded department store is not necessarily something to write home about with joy. There was rain all night long at the camp but when we woke early in the morning so that she could be at the store doors just as they opened, the weather cleared so we decided to walk the 1½ km and left the rooftop tent up for the day so that it could dry out. After was seemed an eternity of walking around in circles looking at the same no name brand stuff over and over again I finally convinced her that it was time to go.
The final 230km trip home was uneventful, the sun was shining traffic was moderate and we were back home just after 6 in the evening. We did some unpacking and I opened the rooftop tent an kept it up for a few days to thoroughly air and dry out.
Doing the figured after this trip of a life time, we drove a staggering 7176 km over 18 days, fuel consumed was 740.51L. Fuel consumption in Swedish was 1.03L/mil and in English it was 27.4mpg. Motor oil used for the entire trip was 3/4 of a litre. These figures surpassed all expectations that I had considering that the landy was fully loaded the entire trip with what we estimated to be around 400kg. Also when you look back at the roads that we drove, the mountain passed, the fjords, the countless serpentine roads these figures are impressive coming from a 36 year old truck.
The plan now is to go through a few things and do a final report of our thoughts and suggestions for future trips for ourselves and others.
