Scandinavian Tour

---

We're moving along; wet, wild, beautiful, and interesting. To miss a mile long tunnel on the way to Alesund we were advised to take a bus. Good decision, a crazy scary tunnel! In Alesund we stayed at a Hostel and met 2 ladies from the Netherlands, Eva and Helene. Helene has some degenerative muscle disease and has slowly been driven to give up many activities. An ebike has allowed her to make this trip. Turns out in Holland there is a book that maps the Euro Velo 1 route up the coast all the way to Nordkapp! They kindly let me photograph a good number of the maps and they help greatly!

And then there are the Norwegians that will approach and apologize for the weather!!! Today we were waiting for a ferry and a bus driver who also waiting began talking to me. After asking about our trip and bicycles he began talking about his work and went on to tell me his life story! Interesting and memorable people!

We're in Molde today. Not too much rain and maybe better tomorrow???
