Arijit

Short day today. I wanted to cross over to Senja with the ferry but then thought of taking it easy. The ferry goes only three times a day from Andenes to Gryllefjord, and by the time I would reach Senja and then finding a spot to pitch my tent, it

An employee at yesterday’s campsite and a cyclist today insisted that Andøya is unlike anything I have ever seen. They were not wrong. It’s a very interesting landscape. Lot of sheep frolicking around. Hopefully I’ll be able to sleep with all the bell noise. Good night! Nøss,

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

Today was an uneventful day, with a little bit of riding and a nice early dinner, but the campsite I am staying at made the day quite interesting. It’s run by two elderly women, one of them doesn’t speak English, Anna and the another lady who has a
