Four seasons in one day, often in the same hour. The day started wet and finished VERY wet. But in between it was OK, the sun even occasionally showed its face, but "Scottish conditions" predominated. It was OK though, actually very enjoyable. You just need to get the waterproofs on and get riding. Stunning scenery was again the order of the day, the conditions making the landscape brooding and maybe even more dramatic. The rain also made for more impressive waterfalls!
Lots of tunnels today, one of which was about 10 km long, emerging onto a bridge across a fjord before plunging back inside another mountain. There was another desolate but very beautiful high pass. Also an inevitable ferry crossing. Norway is a motorcyclists dream.
Even some of the major roads in this part of Norway (connecting Bergen and Oslo) can be dual carriageway one minute and then single track with passing places the next. Keeps you on your toes!
Staying in a little town called "Odda" tonight, where the beer is only £7.50. Happy days! (How do you type sarcastically??)
I passed a sign at some point with the place name of the day: "Oddland", now that's my kind of town!
