so over to Hook of Holland and a 650m ride to Fredrikshavn (in 7 hours) to get the ferry to Gothenburg. Once back on schedule we left Gothenburg and rode to Oslo to be met by Morten Berg
Followed by a quick trip to see Roger Gran's latest addition to his collection of 70s/80s Kawasakis
The inside of the barn is interesting too - Jan Petter Holme joined us for the afternoon
Then to the Aker Brygge for dinner
After a chill out day, the tour started the following day
"Mr Gadget" gets the video fixed
Then to the Trollstiggen - so good we rode it 3 times...
We stayed in cabins near the fjords - this was at Geraingerfjiord
The next day up early for a ferry crossing and Garth talks to the only person around
Turns out to be the Captain who invites us onto the bridge
And you get the best view from there...
Then over the mountains where some of the lakes were still frozen
Arriving at Balestrand for our next overnight stop - this was taken at 1.00am in the morning
The next day on to a Stavkirke...
Then past the jondalsbreenen glacier field
Some of the snow was still 3-4 metres deep
Then onto Bergen for the next stayover - and to chill with a beer but it costs £7 a pint
The view from the Flionbanen is stunning
Then south the next day to Jorpeland
Then through Telemark to Kristiansand for the last night of our stay
Waiting for the ferry in Esbjerg this turned up
Overnight back to Harwich and home the next morning - 2250 miles for the trip
This was a few of the pictures - thanks to Garth for being a brilliant travelling companion and thanks to our good friends in Norway for their incredible generosity with their time and their hospitality.We were accompanied throughout the trip by Morten and Roger who were the best guides in Norway.
and as a result we rode some of the finest motorcycle roads I have ever seen...
