Oslo – Trondheim
Today’s journey towards Trondheim was rather unspectacular. The plan was to take the shortest route inland and just get there. This is where the real journey begins! We have covered nearly 2000…

Rain, rain, rain…
It pisses! All day long! It’s wet, cold and disgusting! It’s also exhausting because you have to concentrate a lot more while driving. We wanted to spend the night near Preikestolen today so…

Bergen!
We set off in the drizzle and arrived in Bergen dry. Today, like yesterday, we sat in the saddle for almost 7 hours and covered quite a bit of distance. We had…

through Germany…
Yesterday and today we drove to Schafflund just before the Danish border. The kilometers went by easily and we chugged through huge rain clouds like we were in a tunnel. We actually…

We gradually reduced the layers of clothing today. In the end, we were actually only sweating with the T-shirt under our motorcycle clothes. Every motorcyclist knows what it’s like when you have…
