Absolutely GLORIOUS weather today, David in t-shirt and me down to only two layers of Merino.
Based in Reine today which gave us a chance to do some washing and some in depth exploring of the local area. So nice to ride without the heavy panniers on the back!

Paused at the top of the hill to photograph the beautiful village of Reine in full sun before setting off on the relatively short 13 km pedal (push) to A. Lots of cute and well populated coastal villages along the way.

Visited the Stockfish museum, which was the most informative explanation of the Norwegian cod fishing industry we have seen- made us realise why there is so much hype about protecting the industry and why the Swedes kept telling us how wealthy the Nowegians are- the average Norwegian fisherman earns $30 per kilo for dried cod- they are raking it in.

Basked lazily in the sun on the pier at A for a couple of hours until David began to worry that if we didn’t head back he may never get me moving- legs a bit creaky after the long break but eventually got going.

Tomorrow our ride ends. Short pedal to the quay and then a four hour ferry ride to Bodo where we spend a couple of days before catching the train to Oslo. Would love to keep riding south from here- feels like we’ve only just scratched the surface.
