We spend 21 days in Norway, of which 19 on our bikes. We cycled nearly 900km and about 15000m of altitude. We camped wild 19 nights and slept 2 nights in a bed. We washed/swam in rivers and lakes about 30 times (maybe even more). We were lucky and happy 100%!!!

To round up and celebrate these amazing 3 weeks we went for pizza on our last evening in Oslo, just before getting on the 24-hour-bus. And we finally filled a bucket with candy, since these had been smiling at us in the groceries for 3 weeks..

Norway was awesome!!! 🇳🇴 ...

Day 20
Oslo!

We camped at the last field with a little lake beach before entering Oslo. In the morning we packed our stuff and cycled the 1.5km to the forest beach ‘in’ the city because we knew there was a shower on the beach and public toilets. We swam, showered, had breakfast and brushed our teeth, like real tramps 😉 using every possible facility, as some fancy looking Osloërs arrived to spend the morning on the beach with babies, strollers, dogs and sunscreens.

All freshened up we cycled into the city and visited the Vigelandspark, with its hundreds statues in stone and metal.
The rest of the day we spend rolling and walking around the town. Considering it’s a capital, Oslo is very calm. Maybe the fact that it was a Saturday and the weather was unusually hot might’ve added to that. Everything’s clean, including public toilets and in the park I even spotted a special ‘bin’ to throw away used drug needles.

All in all… Norway wins the price for cleanest and neatest country I’ve ever cycled. At least, for as far my eye could see… ...

Day 17 - 19
Not a lot of pics on the phone for these days. What can I say.. Nice trails, great camping, tasty food and I got a proper suntan. Sun vacation in Norway. Who would’ve taught.. ...

Day 16
A ride through the forest including a bit of gathering, raspberries! They grow in many places here. A perfect reason to stop during a arduous climb 😇.
