Mountains,tunnels,sunshine and snow

Bergen Northeimsund,Jondal Utne 74 miles today was all about hill climbing not for you mr k not that you couldnt it would just give you the willies. So lots of climbing from sea level to about 800 metres through tunnelsin mountains that when your cycling through the echo you get from the cars sounds like theirs a jet engine behind you very scarry some of the tunnels are short others are about 20 min long. Its been hot today and the coolness of the tunnels give you a welcome break from it and if that doesnt do it then the snow at the top of the hills will at the top your within 50 metres of it.truly staggering scenery its sctland highlands x 10 i love it here. Today i drank at least 4 bottles of water and filled my water bottles from the waterfalls tastes amazing and for free, no stomach problems so it must be ok. No hot food today the gas cannister and connector dont match so on my shopping list today with sun cream and insect repellent, midges were bad last night which was my first night of camping it rough next to a fjord tomorrow i catch a ferry acroos to kinsovic which is the start of the big big hills ive been told that the rivers are still frozen up there not sure how far ill get i was planning Goll but ive been told its to hilly and i might get stuck out in the middle of no where.

Bergen here we are

I have arrived safely and so has Mr L. Bergen is very beautiful and yes there are some hills.Today was spent firstly getting the bike repaired after damage in flight which cost me nothing as I swapped my bike bag for his services, he even threw in a new derailer. All mended by 10am and then off for a cycle around the town as with all towns it has its good and bad sides

. Everything is expensive not just the Beer, you dont seem to buy anything for under a pound value. It seems that all imports are taxed heavy while the norweigan brands are cheeper, Trying to find fig rolls has become an impossible task, let alone malt loaf!! It seems strange without my previous fellow companions on this trip they would love it, but me thinks the hills would keep them awake. Ive tried to down load photos but their seems to be a problem but as soon as I can I will.On my way to Oslo tomorrow with a few hills inbetween.
