My Wife Gives Me Two Weeks Off For Good Behavior Every Year

Ready

Newark Airport

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

I arrived. In oslo airport. It's bright, no clouds, & everyone ,speaks English. waiting for my bike. I guess I'll need that. Also, I need a map and a plug converter. So far, so good.

I put my bike together & packed it. For some reason that took 2 hours. I finally got on the road @ 1 pm. Once out, went NE to Jessheim. I then went what I thout was north, but Iwent in a complete circle, and after riding 3.5 hrs, I made a big circle & found myself @ 6 mi from Jessheim. I'm staying in Rica Hotel. It was much cheaper than the quality inn. The QI wanted 980 kr. For a night. The RH charged only 650 kr.

It's very expensive here. Losing my map today, staying in a hotel, & eating in restaurant didn't help. I bought new maps, stayed in a hotel.

Every year I choose a location and head out alone. I've found that friends are difficult enough to find without the added stress of a bike trip to ruin everything.... full info
