After breakfast and a "show" ride up the street by a local Dakar rider ( he has finished better than 10th six times so must be pretty good) it was back on the road. This time the long way round instead of the ferry.
The usual glorious views......sorry to go on about it but it is an very special landscape. (pic) The boats, little boat sheds and houses that dot the seashore are fantastic.
Unfortunately the weather changed again and the ride into Bergen was wet and cold, however the hotel was warm.
On the way in the "tall ships" were tied alonside and what a great display. (pic) They are very big and very impressive moored, and I can only imagine what they would look like under sail. May get a look tomorrow but you never know with this weather.
It was good to ride with TJ but he is away to Iceland, and I will continue to ride south. Probaly more great rides in wonderful places......its tough all right.
