Bergen to Voss 5 August

Hi............................................................

Bergen was busy and clearly an old trading port. Still quaint but looking like it will become "modern" and be like everywhere else.

Today was the day I caught up with Thom a fellow rider on the Globeriders Tour from China to Germany. We did some chores at the local bike shop and headed off on a ride that he had discovered. It was good to be on the road again with Thom after the rather miserable ride with Goatriders. Thom did not get to finish as his chain decided to leave the sprockets about 2 hours from Munich. No one bothered to even ask what happened to him, they just left him to his own devices, which pretty much summed up the attitude of our "escourts". A less professional performance would be hard to imagine. It was a inadequate in all aspects, but I will write about that on a separate blog nzl07.

So we set off up a fjord over a mountain pass and yes there are many of them, all special and all dramatic.

Arrived at Voss and stopped the night.
