Today we started really early 8.30 am (at least since I hooked up with The Lost Cyclist). We had coffee at Malm before we continued along Beitstadfjorden. It was a beautiful day like a really hot summer day and the road we followed was amazing and not a lot of traffic. I really enjoyed this part until we had to cross a mountain pass with a loose gravelroad meanwhile really steep. After this we looked for water and then we looked for camping spots. It was not so easy to find one that we liked and we were getting tired so we had a cup of tea and almond butter sandwich before we intended to continue. But as we were finished the sky looked almost black and it came closer so we took a quick decision and pitched the tent faster than ever before to avoid doing it in rain because that really sucks. We heard lightning and thunder roaring in the sky pretty close. I actually like the sound of that, it is kind of cozy. Then we made dinner. Distance today 81 km.

Nord Tröndelag
Day 23
Today we started 9.30 am. This day was boring, boring, boring, uphills, heavy traffic and headwinds. We stopped in Namsdalseidet at a café and a short stop at the library for charging. We also met the german guy again Dominique. In the evening the landscape got a little better and we found a nice spot at 8 pm. Today we even had a campfire. Distance 87 km.
Tunnels passed: 2 very small.

In the country side
Day 22
Today it was a late start almost 11 before we hit the road. I was great weather most of the day but in the afternoon came some rain. We had lunch in Kolvereid, not a very good one on my account and then we continued. In the evening there was some rain, strong headwinds and some hard uphills. It took us some time before we found a tentspot but it was pretty good. So we made dinner and studied the map before reading my book. Distance today was 72 km

Day of rest at Mosheim
Day 20
This morning we had coffee and then we went to the camping which was close by and checked in to a cabin. We unpacked everything in our bags and set the tents to dry. Then I had a really nice long shower and put some laundry in the machine before we went to the city center of Brännöysund. We bought wine and some food, then I went to the bikeshop to get a new screw for the rack which I lost two days ago and temporary fixed with strips. Not much to see in this town so we went back to the camping to hang the laundry, make some vegetarian taco, drink wine and use wifi. It is so nice to have a rest day and the weather is fantastic. I really enjoy this!

Happiness is...
to be able to put on dry socks after being wet for two days! It was almost 9 before I was on the road. I stopped at Sandnessjöen library to charge a little and then I continued to the ferry from Tjötta. It was a lovely little ferry and I really enjoyed the trip which lasted for an hour. Then I cycled to Anndalsvåg and it was one hour until the next ferry. I got onboard earlier thanks to the nice staff. This day has been so lovely, dry shoes, sunshine and summer breeze. Lovely cycling route and extremely beautiful nature. Norway is so damn beautiful and I have lots of energy! Just as I got off the ferry I saw eight mooses all at one time! Then I cycled a bit more after arriving Horn until I saw The Lost Cyclist along the roadside. It was not the best campsite he found but it will do. So I pitched the tent and made dinner. Now it's almost 1 am and I'm gonna read some in my book. Distance today 93,5 km
