The first two days have been great. I feel like i really made the right decision taking that flight, the weather is just so much better for me.
Sun’s been out for most of the days, i’ve been cycling in my croatia clothes, shorts and t-shirt. Yesterday evening it was raining and had storm gusts that make me question if my tent is norway ready. As you can see in the picture some rain was coming in now too, just a drizzle though. Earlier today there was a thunderstorm, but i had absolute perfect timing, got on a ferry when it started and got off when it ended. Got my phone to charge up to 100% in the last minute of the ride too. The ferries between the islands here are indeed free for cyclists. We saw whales on the ferry, and we saw whales from next to the spot where i camp as well. Watched them with a german family who are here with a van, they had binoculars and they gave me some water so i could set up camp here.
Everything here feels like it’s 2000 m higher up, when you ride into these fjords it feels like some high alpine plateau with a big reservoir, tree line between 0 and about 250m, fresh air, cold wind. Cold tunnels. But different plants and gulls instead of marmots. There’s quite some tourers on this road, almost all are coming towards me. This place seems really easy to travel, lots of tourists around, drivers are considerate and slow anyway.
The thing with the sun not going down definitely needs some more getting used to, kind of hard to fall asleep still, but i will try to do that now. I think i’m not going to post any more updates until i reach a different country.
Which tent is that?
Ps. Looks like a nice place!
