With sunny Bergen done and dusted our bikes boarded the HUGE guards carriage whilst we sat in what can only be described as first class seats (for a very standard price...) for the next 6 hours over mountains and rivers, through cloud, sun, lashing rain, lighting, more sun and then cloud on arrival in Oslo.
IT WAS DARK! Well, nearly.

| 4th time lucky! |
 |
| They grow up to be tough... |
 |
| Norwegian awards: Top prizes go toooo............ dry bags and Lycra! |
 |
| Not cheap, so worth it. |
 |
| A quiet corner for some bicycle magic |
 |
| Mission accomplished! |
 |
| And again! |
 |
| Claus and Kilian, thank you! |
 |
| So long! I'll be back without a doubt... |
So there was Norway; 5 weeks of...
- Stunning scenery- so many amazing mountains, fjords and rivers and so few people there...
- Memorable people- Our flight with Jonas, the midnight eclipse with Micka and Thomas, crewing a luxury spa boat with Chicago chef Ben, fishing with Kine & Atle, (and that was just the first 2 days!)... A massive thank you to everyone who made Norway feel like home!
- Daytime- From English soil I can confirm that night time does indeed still exist...
- Fish- We would have gone hungry without that rod- thanks Jonas! (Though we don't miss the smell of the fish racks)
- Ferries- A comfy seat and a break from scorching sun, driving wind and rain, tired legs etc., they were always eagerly anticipated and enjoyed
- Hussman crackers-(Norwegian Ryvita)- Kept us going strong but won't be buying any more soon!
- 24hr Sunshine- The weather worked out a treat for us with only 4 or 5 days of really wet and windy weather, win!
- Empty roads- With possibly the most patient drivers in the world and only the occasional motorhome to share the roads with it really was stress free riding, and we won't forget the 'European Plastics Industry Motorcycle Club' in a hurry!
In a nutshell: We loved it, and think you would too (just dont drink river water south of Bodø!)
