Bergen July 5

Day 6 to Bergen July 5 2011

Wow another fantastic riding day,

After leaving Sola it was the best hotel and food so far about 9am

.David who had the crash yesterday is now riding a BMW 800 and his wife Sue is in the Van as she has been bruised and was feeling the  effects of the crash.

Peter the tour leader took us again onto a Highway and we were in 2 nd last position, remember no overtaking other riders, we headed to our first ferry ride it was 30 minutes across a fjord and the cost 183 Nk (about 35 AUD)we were told that morning tea was after the ferry so we waited as it was only 30minutes from the start.. 

Well bugger me they had morning tea on board .

 When we rode off the ferry it was like a" le Mans" start every body jockeyed for position cars, trucks bikes all super fast .again we were 2nd last .Back on a highway  well we had enough and stooped to put on our wet weather gear as it started to sprinkle and Vic a comfort stop,and  waved the last rider  through..

We had the best ride even going to 110 until we caught up again with the pack

We then headed to off to a beautiful waterfall it was just amazing cascading down from a great height.

Again Vic wanted to go a little faster so we took off again and we looked back and there were two other riders joined us. again it was great 

The weather had changed and the sun came out and it was just brilliant again we met the other slower riders with  Peter , at another waterfall,taking off all out wet and warm clothes and tried to get a Norweigen suntan.

Heading to another ferry which cost 84 NK as we were super fast, we left the guide and the rest at the dock and waved them good bye.

Then  the most brilliant road ever 160klm of perfect sweepers and bends along side a lake in and out of tunnels must have been over forty..(i think we spent more time underground in the tunnels...  like rabbits) They sure know how to build tunnels .The weather stayed perfect all day arriving in Bergen at 7pm it was a long but a great day.over 400kl in the saddle again

Peter the tour guide has raised his arms in despair with us as he like to keep all his charges  in check.

Tonight we are in the Best Western Hotel and the meal was served here it was the worst meal we have en counted. So we walked down the street to get an Ice cream   

Tomorrow is a rest day in Bergen and we are going to explore the town on foot but not to eat in the hotel
