Going north





Well, to get up when it is just 12 centigrades outside is definitely refreshing, even if we spent the night in a cabin. Specially as we forgot to turn on the heating.

First was a visit to a place called Geirangerfjord. The weather wasn't nice with us today, so we didn't have a great view. I guess we upset some Trolls yesterday when we refused to share our beer. If you have some time, it would definitely be a very nice idea to spend a day or so and take a tour in a boat. When we arrived at the fjord, two huge cruse ships were there. They came all the way from the coast, driving into the fjord and it is impressive to see these huge ships so far away from the sea.

Next stop was at a waterfall called Trollstigen. Yepp, another waterfall. Looks like hey have plenty of them here. And it looks as we arrived where all the tourists are now :) It is a pity it was raining all day, the road would really have been fun to drive with the bikes.

We are heading north now and are about 1000 miles (1600 km) from the North Cape. Maybe we will arrive at the Arctic circle tomorrow.

But for now we are on a camp ground, where we found a few fellow Swiss campers who volunteered to put our beer in the fridge. Guess it should be cold by now – so bye for today :)
