Kolding

I decided to end my trip here. My right knee almost exploded. It’s also particularly unfortunate that I realised my saddle height was too low today morning, after looking at old wear marks, a measly 1.5 centimetres adjustment made a world of difference. But it was too late,

Short day today. Knees aren’t particularly good and I felt a little bit tired. So came next to Engelsholm lake, and found a shelter. Last night’s one quarter open shelter wasn’t particularly good for sleep, and today’s shelter at least barely fits my tent. When I

Pretty long day today. Managed to reach the second corner of my route, so South bound from here. Found a shelter to camp at. Let’s see how the temperature will be in this open shelter; now that the wind has died down a little bit. Multiple times today I

I pondered if I should change my route today, specially after the wind reports. But I eventually decided to go for it. It wasn’t the best riding on horse tracks and people’s backyards. It took me about half an hour, to leave the forest. Once I reached the

Started somewhat early today. Resupply runs have been plentiful, had two apples from two different stores instead of my usual one, even kept one spare for tomorrow morning. The route was a little bit problematic, mud, gravel & fences. I got stuck multiple times around fences and whatnot, had to

Home

After I flew from Tromsø to Hamburg, I went straight to my apartment. Within 24 hours I had packed my bike, my bags and went from biking everywhere to taking a taxi. For a moment I thought of riding the last bit from Hamburg airport on my bike, but reassembling

MS Havila Castor

Turns out the ferry to Tromsø is a cruise ship, MS Havila Castor; it’s basically a massive hotel with lobby and everything, the cabins are essentially like hotel rooms. It’s not as big & grand as other more mainstream cruise operators but the shower was refreshing after three

Honnigsvåg

As I lay on a bench at the harbour trying to sleep off the night I realised I really miss being on the road and sleeping out in a tent; nothing is ever as simple. I can see why some people don’t tend to stop, and go on for

Today initially my plan was to take a day at Honnigsvåg before biking to Nordkapp; but after eating an excellent cinnamon bun at a grocery store at Storbukt, I decided to go for it. I reached Nordkapp mid afternoon; mildly annoyed by inconsiderate tourist car traffic. Met Balazs, Ruben, his
