Day 19 starts, that will be the day that I'll leave the latest.
It is 10:27h and I have not even left yet.
But afterall I am ...
This is the last part of my trip that I had planned, it is a 160km trip with 3000M elevation.
I cut it in half.
That's what I planned to do too.
Yes because 3000m elevation with 160km in one day it's a bit to much.
So today I should do pretty much half of that so about 80km and 1500m elevation.
And it's beautiful as hell here.
But before leaving, I have something to fix.
My foot here broke.
In fact he folded here because there was too much weight.
And there's a little plastic clip that's broke here so that right now it is completely unusable.
Because there it is not clipped any more for hold it in place.
So again, my friend the electric tape will solve the situation.
I believe it.
That's why you always have to have electric tape.
We can practically solve anything with electrical tape.
There you go.
He's just a little too crooked because it's bent.
It's still not great, but ...
It's better than nothing.
Finally my foot is shit.
It is...
I took it off, it fell back and ...
I tried to screw it again and it finish worst that at the beginning.
I threw it.
No more foot problem.
I'm only going to have to lug my bike every time, that's less funny.
There are only two days left so this is not the end of the world.
So...
11: 15h, wow, I have to go.
Hey!
Well, I just picked up a little something thing to eat, there was not much available.
Yeah, that's what happens when we're in the middle of nowhere.
They have food, but only the kind you need a kitchen to prepare
and that's something I do not have.
And the fruits were... Eurk.
Okay, so here the day starts a little in difficulty, I have to go up there.
Yes because I could have gone through the tunnel yesterday.
But in fact no I could not because I'm a cyclist.
So my detour that I said I had do it yesterday, it is in elevation.
Ahhh! ... my legs.
But I have no choice so let's go.
In Norway it's still a good idea to make smaller days to take
some time to stop and admire the landscape it is...
Pfff ... Wow!
When we ride on small roads in '' S '' like that, it's often very beautiful route.
Because, that means we're in a pretty apical place ...
And it gives views like that, usually.
It's very painful, but it's worth it.
It's still better than a tunnel.
It's funny everyone I meet here are people from Bergen.
In the background here it looks to be a cottage village.
Everyone comes to spend their holidays here.
Maybe that's why there is nothing.
I mean, there is no one who really lives here.
There are only people who come to rest.
But it's beautiful!
I would like to go swim in it.
It's hot!
But it's beautiful it's amazing.
Phew! It's not going really fast this morning.
It goes up, it's hot, I have a lot of beautiful landscape like that and I meet lots of people.
It's the fun to talk to ...
Now I spoke with local people.
It's always interesting to talk to locals.
It's fun.
But I have to move forward.
Yeah, it's not easy to eat well in the middle of nowhere.
I just managed to find myself a banana and a loaf.
Otherwise I had the choice with chips and junk and everything I found from
eating as a kind of meal it's still a hot dog.
They do not have a sandwich.
They only have hot dogs.
Hey hey!
Yahoo!
Yehaa !!
OUA!
Haha!
There is so much eco over here!
THE IS SO MUCH ECO OVER HERE!
And a car coming up.
I'm finally in a tunnel that accepts the cyclists it is a one kilometer and a half tunnel.
I do not know if you've ever done bike in a tunnel.
It's quite special.
It's completely different than by car.
As soon as there is a car that goes into the tunnel, we can hear it, we do not know
which side it comes because it's so echoing.
And it's extremely noisy.
It's about five kilometers that I ride that road with a landscape ... Disgusting.
And that's the plan for about the whole day.
In fact a little further the stream will grow.
It will almost triple.
It will be surrounded by mountains all day.
Ah! Life is Beautiful.
To visit Norway ...
There is no choice, it must by bike.
Because otherwise, you'll miss all that.
Seeing a country like this is not just about ...
I see there are buses passing stuffed with tourists.
Yes, it is certain that we manage to see some, but ...
I can see so much more, I breathe it, it's beautiful, it's pfoua!
I think Norway ...
Geographically, I think it's the most beautiful that I have seen.
And I watched the videos I made and ...
This... This...
It has nothing to do with what it looks like with eyes.
It's incredible.
And besides the weather, I'm so lucky.
In any case, I suggest you the month of May, if you want to come see Norway.
I just found myself a really refreshing place.
The small breeze of water, with the fresh wind.
That's melting snow.
That's wonderful.
I just went in a grocery store.
It's crazy how they does not have much of ready to eat.
I mean, I could have pizzas and lots of stuff, which needs to be cooked in the oven.
I could buy sauces, I could buy almost anything that a grocery store must have, but they never have...
Let's say the corner of all prepared salads, pasta salads, cooked chicken.
This kind of business that we have in the grocery stores in Canada.
Sandwiches, small vegetable dishes.
Ready to eat stuff.
They do not have that.
But in all convenience stores, they have hot dogs.
This is a case that is a bit pathetic pretty much everywhere in the world.
I mean, in Canada, the convenience stores still have a small health section.
Small.
Let's say that the crap portion is much bigger.
It seems to me that this is not normal.
It seems to me.
Apples are greats.
Why when I go into a convenience store, I can choose between 40 kinds of chips, but no apple?
It's sad.
That's pretty much like this I think about everywhere on earth, except in Japan.
Not really in Japan, in Japan every convenience stores are like mini grocery stores.
But in Europe, maybe it's just a question of habit, but I find it really
complicated, found something to eat.
Healthy.
And I allow myself to finish with this crap.
Because it's really hot today.
Really hot.
Again!
Its good!
The question of the day, but what is it that thing?
It looks like there are big fish in it.
But really big fish because I see them from here.
It may be a kind of fishing net.
Bizzar.
No matter, I drink this tea at Louis's health.
Because he's the one who offered it to me.
It was with him that I talk a earlier and he absolutely wanted to give me something.
He offered me coffee, I told him I was not drinking and it was too hot anyway.
So he ran to his car to get me that tea.
Thank you, Louis, it was very good!
At the moment I am on a small bridge.
Cars go from one side and then the other.
But it's so beautiful it's incredible.
I can hear some sheep far away.
I think that since I'm in the Scandinavian countries, I see sheep everywhere.
They must be the biggest producers of wool in the world.
There are sheep everywhere everywhere everywhere.
Good! Well still there as there is only that's fine.
I'm going to eat a burger.
It is certain that there is nothing better than a good burger when riding a bike.
At least I'm almost done for today.
In 11km I arrived.
I think about that and ...
I think that since Oslo I did not really saw any Mc do, Burger King, Subway.
In Oslo there was, it seems to me that I saw more in Sweden too.
I have the impression that in Norway, their '' fast food '' are the convenience stores.
They are really ...
The convenience stores are really thought for the food.
I mean that behind the counter...
Well they have a hot plate, a deep fryer, like a real fast food and that's
the person who is in charge of the convenience store who also sells gas that makes the hamburger.
When ordering a hamburger, she puts the meat on the plate and she makes the burger.
Right now I am in an Esso.
But that burger was very good it was a huge format, there was some stuff in it.
It was really good!
I have nothing to say about it except that it was 115 crowns with a small fries.
But that's Norway.
Whew ... I just had a good run because I had poorly planned my trip visibly.
I thought that at the speed I was going, I was going to arrive on time because yesterday
when I made the reservation to sleep here I had seen that I had until 20 o'clock
to arrive and at 19:50 I was down of the hill at 8km from here, 400m below.
I managed to climb in 40 minutes.
When I arrived, the owner had been kind enough to leave me a paper
to tell me that my room was the i'm one in right now with my name on explaining
everything, super nice.
And finally when I get in he was still there, he was about to leave.
He waited for me.
Really nice man.
So, tomorrow it's going to be the last day.
I have about 80km left before arriving in Bergen.
I'll have to start watching a little all my stuff.
So see you tomorrow.
Ah!
Here, it costs almost half of the yesterday place and it's much better.
In fact I have two beds.
I think I'll take this one because that he is a little below the other.
But, there is a super nice kitchen, there has a common area, the shower is inside.
I do not need to go outside for ...
In short, when you pay less, to sleep, generally you have better.
Remember this.
See you tomorrow!
