heh, you are currently searching WAAAYYY too deep :D
turns out that these tracks are the result of 2 different trips.
trip one (through .nl, lubeck, copenhagen) is a direct result of me 
going through .nl to catch a friend and going to Oslo with him (the 
cheapest route was taking that ferry)
trip 2 (through esbjerg) was because I had time to kill before going to 
my first destination (Billund), then going to .se...
