I should have checked the ferry timings beforehand. There was one at 1110 that I missed while eating a nice breakfast spread at a cafe. The next one is at 1425; this time waiting could have been spent riding. Lessons learned.

I went to Intersport, but they didn’t have a bike mechanic to help me with my brakes. I guess I’ll try again in Trondheim. As far as I can judge, it’s probably fine.

Kjell, my Airbnb host and I had a great time talking about kayaks, ships and Norwegian history. I have never met a ship design engineer before.

I miss my tiny retro video game console, shouldn’t have sent it back home. I could have been finishing so many video-games. I inevitably fall back to scrolling on my phone, but also I did not anticipate there would be this many ferries on the route. I tried opening up my e-reader, only to realise I completely forgot what book I was reading. I think it was Soul of a new machine by Tracy Kidder.

Sitting at the ferry station, I am itching to be on open road again. And it’s raining. I think I will ride till late tonight.
