Day 1 | Wacken Arrival
We left Bad Segeberg in the early morning. And during the way we went to see some small towns and had some kind of tourist route to Wacken. When we arrived in Wacken you could see everyone in town was prepared to welcome the festival visitors. We drove the way in Wacken and follow the signs to our destination ( or place where we could put our tent ). We had some other European nationalities around us.
From Belgium / Germany / France

Day 5 | The day we went back home
On this day we left early some 8:15am in the morning and took some breakfast at a parking near the German Autobahn. We had a nice breakfast and we took the road back home.. stopped one time in Germany because the driver begun to feel sleepy and than you need to stop for a couple of minutes to wake up.

First stop in the Netherlands was Dieren here we ate some bit and dropped a friend on the station. where she went back home. some hours later I dropped a friend back home in the south of the Netherlands. We took a joke picture of a pig for his sister as a joke. I drove back home and where home around 6pm ( 18:00h )
