Ålesund

I think I am one step closer to understanding why I have not been able to enjoy big towns or cities as much during this trip. It’s not that bigger towns are complicated, harder to get around, or create friction against my own expectations. It’s the departure from

Flø

It feels like a dream at this point; Or a long chain of half-remembered dreams that I haven’t woken up from. The transition between place to place isn’t so quick that each individual place becomes an episode, but also not slow enough to be real. It’s the

Åheim

You and I both know you are just making up excuses to not get on the bus, and it’s not because you can’t figure out how to get the tickets. You say it’s hard riding in rain, but you do it anyway; I haven’t seen you

Florø Terminal

Today is a quiet day; I am waiting for the ferry in Fløro to Måløy. I was hoping to drink some coffee and sit at a cafe during my wait, but everything here is closed on Sunday. So I am waiting in the waiting room of the terminal. Today is

Today was another mostly uneventful day where I just smashed pedals until I reached my destination, except it was rainy, windy, and sometimes both. The route also had a few sections over busy roads, so all in all, was not a particularly nice ride. But I also went through quiet

Hyllestad

Yesterday I met Kristof. It was nice to meet another cyclist for a change. He rolled into the camp quite some time after I had arrived, and we had a good time planning the next day. He reminded me that today’s ferry is irregularly scheduled, it’s not every

Risnes

Yesterday’s sunny afternoon was a total bluff. It started raining sometime in the morning and it’s still raining. I didn’t wait too long for the rain to stop today, I just decided to start in the rain, which was not a bad idea, since the alternative was

Mangar

The rain almost broke my spirit to move today. I checked forecasts, I waited, and when I started moving eventually the rain seemed to have been subsiding. But a burger and coke later, it was worse. My optimism for the weather, and finding a campsite was low. The problem with
