Morning campers!


Its a beautiful morning here in the area of Bardufoss and we are staying in a cabin on a kind of nature reserve. It is very nice albeit farily rustic. Last night we arrived here about 2030 and popped down to the local Spar - 10 mins away on a bike - and bought some supplies for breakfast. We also bought a large frozen pizza for dinner which we thought would be nice and easy to prepare. There is a kitchen but there is no oven or grill. So we fried it with a bit of fat from the salami!!! The bottom was black but we scrapped the top off and had a feast. That said, anything tastes good when your hungry.

This hut comprises two bedroom each with four bunk beds, a lounge, a small kitchen (no grill!), a loo and a shower room. Incredibly, the shower room also has  his and her's sinks. How about that?!

Remembering a couple of points on travel, the tunnels are barely lit. They are narrow and dark and need respect. Car headlights seem quite bright due to the darkness and you can't see the road surface. Definitely worth slowing down. We have hardly seen any police cars but there are a lot of forward facing cameras. The E6 north of Mor i ana is single carriageway and mostly in great shape. There are however quite a few resurfacing operations as this is the season - can't lay tarmac in the winter. The surface can be bumpy particularly it seems and the approach to corners probably due to trucks braking and "moving" the tarmac so flying in a high speed on two wheels is probably not a good idea. I only had one major wobble.......!

The picture was from last night some 50 miles south of Bardufoss. We crossed a few bridges like that and saw so many great views but it wasn't practical to keep stopping a photographing them all. You'll have to come and see for yourself..........
