Took the ferry to Sandefjord in Norway. Yesterday I was quoted 76 Swedish Crowns, today I had to pay 190. Apparently yesterday the bike wasn’t included. It’s more expensive than a person because it can’t shop aboard.
The ferry was boring. Everyone was just shopping tax free… haha.
The boat arrived in Sandefjord around 4pm. I cycled out of town and dismissed the first campsite for it was too cramped and full with campervans. The second one didn’t seem to exist.
Had to climb the first hair pin bends today. For some reason I find the countryside here in Norway much more scenic and idyllic.
Eventually, after 52km, I stopped at a non-public camp site and tried to ask a lady about staying there. She didn’t understand me and so we both babbled along at each other – she in Norwegian, me in English. Found someone else with a better command of the English language and got the OK to pitch tent.
Shortly after Sandefjord the clock showed 8000km since Madagascar; 750+km since Trelleborg.
