Today was my last day cycling. A small stint in the sun to Kirkenes – where they are partying in the warm sun. It’s the city festival – to say goodbye to a tired and contented cycler.

My bike trip started with heat, and now, in the Arctic, it is ending with heat. Cycling and swimming in the bright sun, exploring the Russian border. Cycling along Pasvikdaken.

Up and down under the warm sun through wooded steep terrain to a beach at the edge of Europe.

Vast open spaces. Sun. Heat. Flying salmon. Cheap groceries. Military zone. A lovely day’s cycling.
Today was wet, and warm. Grey and uninspiring until the weather really got erratic. On the back road to Bugøynes, I had a downpour and a beautiful rainbow.

A cloudy, slow day, ending at the most northern point in the EU. Hello Finland!
Day 51. 113km. Vardø – Vestre Jakobselv
Posted: July 28, 2013 in Cycling, NorwayTags: Cycling, Norway
I could have been cycling in Australia. Desolate plains – the mid north in South Australia. Then with trees – somewhere in New South Wales.
What was a sunny and warm day became exciting as the black clouds drew in.
Day 50. 12km hike + 50km cycle. Syltevikmyra – Vardø

A hike in paradise. My private valley. My private fjord. Sun. Warm. A smile in my heart. The smell of cloudberries on my fingers.
Day 49. 54km. Båtsfjord – Syltevikmyra
Posted: July 27, 2013 in Cycling, NorwayTags: Cycling, Norway
Cycle, boat and cycle – to the end of the earth. And it is beautiful.
Overdose of tundra. Overdose of nothing. Need people. Staying in the only town – Båtsfjord.
