My travels - Norway on Bike 1997 - 7.day

9.August 1997

Morning is for me really hard. Only very slowly I leave tent. Outside is strong wind and sun is hidden somewhere above dark clouds. I make decision to spend today in car. Other people want to make some easy route. On the "Eagle route" they are struggling their fight. Strong wind is dangerous enemy. I speak with Jaro about their conditions. It is not bad thing to spend some time in car, but from bike you can see much more. We stop near of Geiranger Fjord and we are looking on really colossal "Seven Sisters Waterfall". Later we continue with making photos on the best place for making photos in Norway. Peter found this excellent place, well known from all travel prospects, last year. Place is an overhang with excellent view on fjord. The point is that you don't know this, when you are staying there. You must also find right place for camera. Peter obtains all cameras and we together with Gabika's bike change to models. Of course, every camera is specific, and we must yawl on Peter instructions how to use it. This grotesque screams engage near tourists from France. They with consternation on faces look on strange couple of people screaming each other. I understand them, from their place is not possible to see this interesting view. At last we make one group photo on each camera. One from French tourists be a push-over for and go on Peter's place. With scream "Fiiiiii" (in french language of course), shortly he interprets others what it is all about. We are going to eat something, and French tourist repeat our previous activities. It is going to rain and we attach all bikes on car, and together we enter into car.

With car we reach Dalsniba. Here we make some photos of near iceberg. Gabika with Lucia also tested their raincoats bought in Rostock. Later we continue to Stryn, where we visit local pub. I ordered some German beer there. After paying bill I was surprised with very high price. Alcohol in Norway is not very cheap. We build tents wildly, somewhere in near forest on footpath. We didn't have time to look for camping in this rainy weather. We also build tent bower, which we use as our kitchen. After eating, we play cards in one from tents together with Czech liqueur "Becherovka". Gabika together with Lucia present themselves as excellent masseuses. My eyes reveals me and in short time I sleep like a top.
