diary week 3

 
  day seventeen 2004-08-16. monday.  
  hurdal-eidsvoll (then by train to oslo)
- 30 km's -

we left hurdal at 10 am. it rained! we went from hurdal to eidsvoll by bike. partly in rain. from eidsvoll, we tooked the train to oslo, because it did not stop raining (costs: 136 nok). in oslo, we went to the kfum youth hostel (ymca). it's the cheapest possibility to spend the night in oslo.

in the evening, we went out with two persons we met: chris from america and joanna from finnland. we checked many bars this evening.

- 57.5 km's -

we left the youth hostel at 11 am. then wewent along the cycling lane to rotnes, gronvoll and then to harestua. we went on the camping place. it was very laboriously to get out of the city by bike. the camping place is very nice, but very apart. so, we had to go 8 km's for shopping.


 

 
  day twenty. 2004-08-19. thursday  
  shopping harestua
- 7.5 km's -

today it began to rain in the night. it rained all through the day. it was the strongest rain, we have seen in norway. but our tent was waterproof (thanks to the producer of FABSIL, a very good waterproofer). we stayed on the camping. we went 8 km's again for shopping in a short rain break.
 

 
  day twenty one. 2004-08-20. friday.  
  harestua-grua-roa-oppdalen-surka-helleren-maura-sessvollmoen

we left harestua at 10 am. the last day in norway began. tomorrow, we will fly back to cologne.


 

 
  day twenty two. 2004-08-21. saturday  
  sessvollmoen-gardermoen / airport cologne-hotel ibis
- 30 km's -

today we had to go to the airport in gardermoen, to get our flight back to cologne. this time, we had to spend a night in cologne. when we arrived at the airport, we tried to find a pack for our bikes. it was not possible! the don't sell anything to pack bikes in gardermoen! so we had to check-in our bikes without packing. we were very lucky, that our bikes and the luggage was still complete in cologne (remember: the lost our tent!). from the airport cologne, we had to go about 14 km's by bike to the hotel ibis. in the evening, we checked the mc donald's and the kentucky fried chicken near the hotel.


 

 
  day twenty three. 2004-08-22. sunday.  
  hotel ibis-airport cologne (flight back to zurich)
- 14 km's -

we had to get up at 4 am. our flight was leaving on about 7 am. even in cologne, they sell no pack for the bikes! once again, we were happy, that our bikes were complete in zurich.

very nice, adventurously holidays went to end.
