VCIM16: Geiranger, Norway... About Your journey & Safe arrival back home

[Madero]

We are still in Norway
Arrived cold and soaking wet at our campsite in Hovet yesterday after crossing the Aurlandfjell (Horndalvegen)
Luckily the sun then started shining to warm us and dry our gear. We'll have a restday today and head further south tomorrow over Odda. Have the ferry to Hirtshals on saterday and planned to arrive home at sunday.
What a great trip and what a fantastic bike

Had a beautiful two-day trip from Geiranger to Stavanger via Voss with Alex - where we split ;-(. Thanx a lot to Ole (was it Ole?) for giving us the directions to avoid ferries and getting some beautiful inland and fjord-shores instead.

After Norway, probably everything is boring... After the ferry, during the 1000 km last day, yesterday, I gave my new Ducky some history lessons in Holtgast (VIM5) and Onstwedde (Where It All Began!)

She gracefully finished her maiden-voyage from cruiseship Geiranger to her new home-base at my cruiseship Rotterdam ;-)

Thanks a lot Barbara for my new companion!!!

And off course many, many thanks to Erik and the Norway team for inviting us to this stunning country and organising a beautiful weekend!

Home safe, JW

More than 650km today and we are still far from home 
Not the nice part now, crossing again Danemark ... And we are in Germany ...

Gilles, keep in mind that this is what our Scandinavian friends must ride next year! 
Exactly like MOST EVERY year 

You can't complain. You've got plenty of nice rides within 500 km from your place. 
Just like myself. For instance I am some 500 km away from Nant, la Couvertoirade,... 

Regards,

Josep

Still in Norway we did 450km southwards today. Crossed Hardangervidda, gazed at the Låtafossen and had our lunch at the Heikelifjell. We ended the trip with a nice and fast ride  iver Road 9 towards Evje.
Enclosed a pic of Heikelifjell which is symbolic for the beauty of this wonderful country!
