Heya folks,
Here are the first two routes of Tramprennen 2012, the 4 other ones will be published within the next days aswell! 🙂
Start: 18th August 2012
End: 1st September 2012

First off, the theme of this year’s race: the heroes of our childhood days – the Sesame Street muppets! 🙂
Route No.I: Kermit the Frog, starting in Copenhagen!
Route No.II: Cookie Monster, starting in Gent!

We have chosen the routes randomly and we have no clue what to expect there. Maybe you’ll see the most beautiful village in the world, maybe the most terrible city you’ve ever seen…But to be honest: We don’t care. Isn’t that the reason of travelling, to expect nothing except the unexpected? It’s up to you to make it a special journey: Welcome to the playground called planet Earth! 8 Billion people worth to get to know, billions of birds and plants, of trees and leaves, lakes and seas! The goal is not to reach a specific place, but rather to go on an inspirational journey. And we’re looking forward to be on the road for two weeks with many many great people and hopefully you aswell!

And now: Let’s DANCE! 🙂

Cookies and Quacks to you!
Cheeers,
Tramprennen 2012-Crew! 🙂
