Welcome to the fediverse @jacobtylerwalls #django #pyconus
@judy2k I found a soda fountain for you
Finally landed in the US, on my way to #PyconUS in a few days!
Can't wait to meet all my python friends old and new
I've you've been following #BaptisteDrivesNorth, you might know that I've been in Tromsø for the past three days.
I've had a lovely time visiting the city, going on hikes, and meeting with friends old and new.
But it's time to get on the road again.
You might think this is the start of #BaptisteDrivesSouth, no! Apparently there's still a bit more north to go, so my new plan is to drive to the northernmost point of continental Europe: the legendary Nordkapp.
Fuck yeah 🇭🇺💚

#baptisteDrivesNorth Day 3, update 3:

I've made it to Tromsø, my (tentative) final destination.

Distance traveled today: 316km / 200 miles
Energy used: 66,834 kWh
Energy cost: 264.14 NOK / 20 EUR / 23 USD
Coffees: 2

What a drive that was. Time for my first shower in 3 days (luckily I was alone in the car), and a nap.

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 3, update 1:

Final charge before my destination, only 1 more hour to go.
The views are still as scenic as ever, I've probably filled up my camera rolls with about a hundred pictures of various combinations of mountains, fjords, and forests.
I made an unplanned charging stop when I saw a sign at a random gas station where they had electricity almost twice as cheap as usual (2.99 per kWh)

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 3 (of 3 I hope)

Local time: 9am
Current temperature: 6°C
Altitude: 36m above sea level
Coffees consumed: 1

Had a great night: no wind and very quiet. Woke up to a gorgeous snowy mountain landscape.
I'm now waiting in line for the ferry which has been fully automated: cameras read license plates and I'll be getting an invoice by email later on (this is also how tolls work all over Norway).

Another 5 ish hours of driving and I'll be in Tromsø.

#baptisteDrivesNorth final update day 2:

Local time: 11:45pm
Outside temperature: 4°C / 39°F
Current altitude: 104m
Total distance traveled today: 736km (about 450 us miles, or 74 Norwegian miles)
Total energy consumed: 98 kWh
Energy cost: 672 NOK (60 EUR / 70 USD)
Coffees consumed: 1.3

Tomorrow I'm getting on a ferry first thing, then once that's done I've only got about 4-5h of driving until my final destination. The end is in sight!
