Cycled 65 miles today.
Left Michele and Patricia at the campsite at Maloy; they are having a rest day. Plus it was raining. They carried an enormous amount of stuff- their tent had a separate sitting room and they had an inflatable carpet which filled the bedroom. They had pots and pans and separate shoes for the evening. Each evening they have one small beer between them as an aperitif. This costs the equavelent of 4 euros - a bottle of wine for them back home. I on the other hand am drinking tea- no Norwegian priced alcohol for me!
Today I cycled along road number 15 which took me over one big hill and through 2 tunnels until I then turned onto 61- a perfect double carriage road which cut up and across the land, which separates 2 fjords. Then still on 61 the road uses the ferry at Kopamens to cross a small inlet - no waiting this time. The rain poured the whole time. However the man on the ferry who took my fare told me it will be better next week He knew Scotland we'll as he used to work in the oil industry in Aberdeen.
Aftet that I continued on this European cycle route 1 as far as Ulsteinvik where I have made a 5 mile detour along a nice quiet seashore road to a campsite.
The campsites have kitchens. I thought I had brought a packet of pasta in sauce to add water to and cook up, but it turned out to be something resembling peas pudding.
Raining again outside.
