Nice calm morning, some blue sky and only a short amble to the port. Took it easy on my last ride in Norway (for this trip at least), trying to soak it all in.
I was the first bike to arrive at the queue for the ferry, but another UK plated bike soon pulled in behind me. Jeremy on the inevitable GS. Turns out couple of years ago, he'd done a similar trip to my London to KL journey. We compared notes before boarding.
An uneventful crossing saw the boat pull in late in the afternoon. Then a short ride to my bed for the night by the beach. Too few miles ridden on what turned out to be a nice sunny day! Tomorrow.........who knows?
Conclusion on Norway: an outstandingly beautiful country to ride in. Weather is always going to be a gamble and overall I had more good than bad, so no complaints. High season is July; no guarantee of better weather and the roads which can be busy now with caravans and campervans, could be choked with the white monstrosities then. So June is a good month to visit Norway.
