Sweden and Norway

[Gruf]

On the 15th June we set of on our hols the bike was gleaming and ready to roll then I had to get it out of the garage and it was pissing down.
The rain finally stopped when we got to Harwich and the sun was shining we rode to the ferry port to meet the BMW tour group (later to be known as the panzer division) as we rounded the corner I was relieved to see another Honda amongst the BMWs and it was a Blackbird. So that was two blackbirds (known as team Nippon) and 17 BMWs.

It did not stop raining until we got to Stockholm on the 4th day of our hols so the camera stayed in its bag. In Stockholm we visited the Ice bar.

We then headed for Sunsvall and then Trondheim and it rained for most of the time and the riding was on crap roads and all we could see were trees and more trees so not a lot to photograph.
Then we went from Trondheim to Alesund and crossed the boarder into Norway and this was where the holiday began so just over the boarder the camera came out for the first photo of many.

On the way to Alesund we had to take one of what was to become many ferries


We also went over the Atlantic road



Then we went onto Alesund, which was a bit wet

From Alesund we headed for Otta over some brilliant roads one of which was the trollstigen or trolls ladder



Then onto Geiranger


and onto our overnight stop in Otta
From Otta we headed to Geilo on some more brilliant roads



On the way we met some of the panzer division

Looking and photographing this

We then took another ferry

and onto our lunch stop where I caught our dinner

Then onto our over night stop in Geilo the next morning we headed for Bykle and
Our first coffee stop where I met my avatar and told him a joke which cracked him up

After the coffee stop we headed for our overnight stop at Bykle. Then onto our last
Overnight stop in Bergen on the way we were heading for a tunnel, which was shut
and we had to take the old road over the mountain, which was stunning.


We then stopped at a water fall and some of the panzer division rolled in and surrounded
team Nippon

but we escaped for yet more views


We then met the panzer division again
but team Nippon managed to stay to one side

We then arrived in Bergen where we met Leftlaner


The next morning we got the ferry home

where the other half of team Nippon had a moment of madness and tried an
adventurer for size

but soon returned to his much loved to board the ferry



And that was the end of my little adventure to Norway and Sweden.
I would go back to Norway but not Sweden

In the words of Borat, I like.

Can you give us some clues as to how much everything cost as I've heard on the grapevine it's a tad expensive?

I've just read how much things are in Norway . I'm planning a three week holiday in a few years time going to the north cape and back. I'd better make in 2020 or hope I win the lottery!

is that the new caberg justissimo gt helmet you have there.........

Friend of mine has just upgraded from old one to new GT, says it is really good and a lot lighter and quieter than the old one if that helps make up your mind. Unfortunately he does not have intercom fitted so can't help you there.
