Zaragoza to Ljubijana through San Bernadino and Klagenfurt Hills. The Scania handled it all beautifully. I'd done this pass before in a 625hp Actros 8*4 pulling a Log Stacker and it was far more difficult.
Try it the next time you get in the game.
Ukiingia kitanda, hakuna kupinduka.
This journey was super scenic. I altered the route to mostly drive through Norway otherwise the game will push you through Sweden very early. France is really beautiful, particularly the small roads. Job took almost 5 hours but the pay was great (€898,720)
For context, home is 🇰🇪. This is certified Merc and Isuzu/Mitsubishi territory with older Scanias here and there.
And yet...
This small game from a country I may never visit keeps putting a smile on my face.
Imagine turning every meal into a feast, even soulless foods like boiled eggs.

West Balkans appreciation post. Recency bias can make us forget HOW GOOD WE WERE EATING with West Balkans. It is super enjoyable. If it won't kill you or ruin your budget, grab the Ultimate bundle during this Steam sale. You'll be in for a treat.
However long you think this journey took, you're correct. Seville to Karesuando. No regrets, it was very beautiful.
Found a lot of EV charging stations in Nordic Horizon as well rather than Benelux region only. Ownable electric trucks are probably on the way, perhaps by end of year or early next year.
Beat this, I dare you.
I tried dried managu for the first time after buying a punnet at an expo I attended earlier this week (100g - Ksh 250). I followed the instructions and frankly, it wasn't bad at all. Fresh is definitely better but you won't console yourself if dried greens are all you can access. The shelf life is 7 months! 😳
Had it with a creamy mushroom mango habanero curry and sweet potatoes. Pahali nitalala sitapinduka.
6 fried eggs, brown beans and a thick avocado. Ksh 200 total.
Beans are actually a fibrous starch. I know our KLB education classified beans as a bodybuilding food but per 100g cooked, beans only contain 7 - 9g of protein and 21g of carbohydrate.
I slept like a dead log afterwards. 8 hours.
When I first downloaded ETS2 (2023 - 2024), the best paying jobs were Medical Vaccines. Light (5 tons) and high value (€80+/km). With a 4×2 truck with a huge fuel tank, you could one-shot a long delivery cheaply.
Now, things are very different. Fuel costs are high but the gross pay is ENORMOUS.
Hot and sweet chilli sauces available in Nairobi.
Mango Habanero, Lemon Habanero and Pineapple Habanero at Ksh 350 each.
Spicy Mushroom at Ksh 700 each (Ksh 600 if you buy 2).
Delivery done via Uber Boda.

"Magoti zifikie maskio," said the spotter on the leg press loaded with 5 plates on each side.
The recovery meal is VITAL.
Ngwace, 6 boiled eggs, avocado and a drizzle of Lemon Habanero sauce.
Finally! Just when you thought the game couldn't get any lovelier. The place is huge. It has a whole circuit that ends in a drag strip (great for convoy/VTC events with friends. Winner gets a coffee if you can meet in real life or a DLC that costs as much as a coffee in your country).
I got this load from Cagiliari to Eindhoven and explored the DAF facility a little bit. Consider myself satisfied. The real-life equivalent of the transformer I delivered retails at $150,000 - $400,000 depending on capacity according to Alibaba.
The quality of this rework gets me excited for the UK rework due later this year or early next year.
A small throwback picture. I used to spot this vehicle back when this garage was still operational. No idea if it was mechanically sound but it passed the eye test.
Last I heard it was on the market for low 8 figures (Kes 11M give or take).
Sheesh!
Tasty artisanal chilli sauces.

I got some fresh brown mushrooms from a test farm we're running in Gatundu. They sent over 2.5kg (10 punnets) and I didn't have an outlet (no room in the fridge, enough mushroom hot sauce, supper already made, neighbors not omboarded yet).
I chopped them up, laid them on a sheltered wooden rack and left them for 8 days. Lost 95% of the weight but now I have 6 months to decide how I'll consume them.
Consider such a path for your excess vegetables, ndumas, ngwaces, green bananas, herbs etc. Have a compost bucket as well if you have the space.
Did a 4,500km job from Patras to Honningsvag. Going East was a hard drive because everything else was SO BEAUTIFUL. West Balkans, Beyond the Baltic, Scandinavia, Nordic Horizons.
Keep in mind that this was all done on a low-end laptop (Lenovo L470).
Players on high-end devices struggle in the UK and Going East. The difference in quality is insane.
What do you think is the most beautiful map DLC?
4984km. Norway to Spain through Benelux rework - incredible views. Super expensive cargo ($500k 😬). How do farmers in Europe even turn a profit with such equipment prices? Can newbies participate or is it only available to generational farmers at this point?
Highly recommend the trip (1.59, Nordic Horizons-Scandinavia-Vive La France-Iberia, Farm Machinery DLC).
