Yesterday I was quoted 76 Swedish Crowns, today I had to pay 190. Apparently yesterday the bike wasn&#8217;t included. It&#8217;s more expensive than a person because it can&#8217;t shop aboard.<\/p>\n<p>The ferry was boring. Everyone was just shopping tax free&#8230; haha.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t seem to exist.<\/p>\n<p>Had to climb the first hair pin bends today. For some reason I find the countryside here in Norway much more scenic and idyllic.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, after 52km, I stopped at a non-public camp site and tried to ask a lady about staying there. She didn&#8217;t understand me and so we both babbled along at each other &#8211; she in Norwegian, me in English. Found someone else with a better command of the English language and got the OK to pitch tent.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after Sandefjord the clock showed 8000km since Madagascar; 750+km since Trelleborg.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-gallery-container \" id=\"rl-gallery-container-1\" data-gallery_id=\"0\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery rl-basicmasonry-gallery \" id=\"rl-gallery-1\" data-gallery_no=\"1\"> <div class=\"rl-gutter-sizer\"><\/div><div class=\"rl-grid-sizer\"><\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item rl-gallery-item-width-4\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/onmytodd.org\/wp-uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_2943.jpg\" title=\"Leaving Str\u00f6mstad\" data-rl_title=\"Leaving Str\u00f6mstad\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onmytodd.org\/wp-uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_2943-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" alt=\"Leaving Str\u00f6mstad\"\/><span class=\"rl-gallery-caption\"><span class=\"rl-gallery-item-title\">Leaving Str\u00f6mstad<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/onmytodd.org\/wp-uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_2958.jpg\" title=\"Hair-pin bends\" data-rl_title=\"Hair-pin bends\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onmytodd.org\/wp-uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_2958-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" alt=\"Hair-pin bends\"\/><span class=\"rl-gallery-caption\"><span class=\"rl-gallery-item-title\">Hair-pin bends<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took the ferry to Sandefjord in Norway.
