OLDERFJORD DAY 120 375km

IN STRIKING DISTANCE NOW 

Rode about 50km to Breinkeidt and got 10am ferry to Svensby and then another 30km to the last ferry of Norway,  Lyngseidt ferry to Olderdalen. A

    PENULTIMATE FERRY IN NORWAY



Stopped at the Spar for a bite and then the Italian cyclist pulled up as I was about to leave, so went back inside and had lunch with him and then headed to Alta. 

They had no available cabins so I continued on another 109kms to Olderfjord where I did get a shitty box cabin for $50, no sheets, just two beds and two chairs in a shoe box.
 The scenery was beautful all day which surprised me from what I had heard. Saw a herd of Reindeer alongside the road then another herd darted over the the road and had to stop for them, have never seen one before.
Am about 130kms from Nordkapp now so will get there tomorrow and then head back down south to home, at least it's all downhill. Weather forecast is calling for good weather, first part of today was 19*C and then in the end it was 9*C with wind. Looking forward to tomorrow, a huge turning point so to speak.
