I had a rather jovial exchange today at the second ferry, out of three I took today. A ferry employee at Forvik wanted my bike, said he doesn’t see many Surly models in Norway, and offered me one in exchange. His son is a professional racer in a French team, so he can’t give his son’s good bike to me, but his old one is available.

Today I met a motorcyclist and another local tourist who both said the same thing the couple said yesterday. That I have to go to Herøy and Dønna, and look at the Seven Sisters peaks from there. This would be a detour, but since three parties insisted at this point, I thought I might as well.

I did find a campsite at the very East of Herøy islands, but I somewhat pushed myself to do wild camping tonight. The temptations of the creature comforts at a commercial campsite are too hard to ignore. And if I didn’t make a point to do wild camping, I wouldn’t do it. So I decided to be at a place with a good view, not a hut, not under a bridge, but a nice spot that doesn’t have much around.

Good Night!
