You have to give me cred for that play with superb letters and german villages..(.thanx ) and yes Im in a place called “Fahr”.

– so to the next man trying, the Main river gives you a hell of punch after Dettelbach, splits in two, and if you have a 3699966 kilo ship you go right. If 7 kilo plastic board you go left. So reading the clear German signs, I went left. That’s the hardest stream you’ll meet on River Main. I guess thats why they call the next village Fahr. Im there, and just 70 k to Bamberg. If you are the next one standing for Ref Cross, then the reading is free. If not… Donate a cent today. 50 if you’r 50 Cent. 😉 (far of ) From my Nokia. Im @heidenstrom on Twitter and @Main or @Donau 😉

Its replaced by a smal zebra, but that dont hurt so much… 😉 so going on half speed and bet Ill make 20 k from Wurzburg and dreaming about Bamberg…

Weather; i guess 20 … Hot in the dry suit 😉 From my Nokia. Im @heidenstrom on Twitter and @Rhine @Main or @Donau 😉

Face planted in the river … Had my first dive and it was not a nice one. The board hit a logg hiding in the brown water when I was on full speed. Board went full stop. I went sputnik ballistic. Landet on rocks and my left foot is, well…, not ready for the olympic games. I can not stand on it…. And the feeling inside the leg is like if you ask a elephant to stand on your left foot.

Dont do that..

So Mr Röntgen, show me what you can… I need to stand. From my Nokia. Im @heidenstrom on Twitter and @Rhine @Main or @Donau 😉

It was a German, Mr Rontgen, that discovered röntgen in this house. Told you, smart people this lot. And Im soon on fluent germansk language. From my Nokia. Im @heidenstrom on Twitter and @Rhine @Main or @Donau 😉

I guess there are some strickt rules about giving wine as a prize in Norway, but ,,,, Ill plase this red super best wine on Bohemen Pub in Oslo or Losen Bar in Sætre. The one who gets five mates to donate in one day gets the wine… I have pals visiting me on Donau, and they’ll bring it safe back to your pick up spot.

Its sponsored by Mr Freund, my friend.

Eleven o’clock yesterday. A smiling German jumps out between a tree and the river Main and say “hi Bjorn!”… First time Iv heard my own name in twenty days…

His name is Michael Freund, and it was true… He was a new friend (hello, my German is getting there, I know “freund” means friend… ) – so he wanted a interview and a photo. Some one down the river had told… And yes that’s what this is about, let the world or at least Europe, or a bit of the river know about The Shirt, the symbol, and the Red Cross campaign for missing children… So I told about The Shirt, world cup in South Africa, Blatter, Platini, Messi, and all the 700 others signed shirts. I told about the power of football uniting. I told about missing children and the project. And I told him that Ill stand somewhere on the Black Sea in 90 days.

I also left a challenge. There is most English shirts on The Shirt today. Norwegians nr two, Spain nr three.. So where are the German fans. Where is their Kaizer, der new Bomber …

send them… Donate. Please.

And my new friend, mr Freund, he gave me a bottle of the nicest German wine.

So, Ill donate that to the best friend of my project… From my Nokia. Im @heidenstrom on Twitter and @Rhine @Main or @Donau 😉

And the big question; should I take hard left or right when I come to the Black Sea.

and why?
