I returned to Ulsteinvik from my detour campsite. I went into the Remix supermarket, which looked remarkably like a Lidl, although being Norway, the prices are higher. Then it was the main road to the next ferry at Hareid. There was a shared route cycle path which was nice, but I got off it to give space to a group of nursery age children who were walking along holding hands in lines of 3 .
Coming off the ferry, my road became busy. Alesund not far away is a surprisingly large place and I hit the dreaded E39 the main arterial road/duel carriageway going North. There are cycle paths and between mio and me we got through.( Though why mio took me off the cycle path, hrough an industrial estate only to return to the same road is questionable).
My route then led me along quiet roads up a fiord side, round it and back down the other side. Then I cycled 3 sides of the square which made up a peninsula in order to avoid a large tunnel, through which cyclists are not advised to go. Eventually I reached Brattvag in the sun and my second crossing of the day took me onto the island of Otteroya- beautiful, peaceful.
Camped at a site near Midsund and had freshly caught herring for my late meal. A group of fisher men and women had line caught them off a bridge. It would have been rude not to down the scnapps I was given!
