NORWAY! 🇳🇴
‘Got morgen’
It’s summer holiday time!!!
Friday we collected our gear and packed our bags to leave for a three week bicycle tour in Norway. A country I’ve never been! A country with ‘allemans retten’, which means: you’re allowed to wildcamp almost everywhere as long it’s at least 150 meters from a inhabited house and it’s not on cultivated land. I’ve experienced that before, in Iceland. It’s such a pleasure not having to ‘hide’ yourself and worry you might be send away. We set out our route on a digital map, but I couldn’t resist to but a real (paper) one last minute as well 🗺️.
On Saturday morning we left by bus from The Hague to Norway. We decided to try out this ‘green’ option and spend 25 hours on a bus, followed by 7 hours on a train, instead of 1 hour on a plane. I expected an arduous trip.. but it wasn’t too bad at all. 3 hour stopovers in Hamburg and Oslo broke up the trip nicely.
After 39 hours of traveling we arrived in Bergen.. the starting point of our tour! More about that late night arrival in the next post…. 🏕️
In the days between Christmas and New Years` eve we spend a little time back on the bike. Leaving the past year behind in style. It`s been a very good year for us. I feel incredibly blessed, having been able to bike tour again for such a long stretch of time, in the most beautiful places and with lovely @paulusdecrosskabouter !
