Almost that time again !

[Huzo]

I don't doubt that your TomTom has sent you via Lødingen, but I think it's a detour if you're still heading north.
If TomTom also put you on the ferry from Lødingen to get you back on the E6, it would lose most of my respect.

I hope the weather improves!
You might as well know that I haven't even been to Trondheim on motorbike. One day though........ But I won't be in a hurry when riding up there!

No mate, I did the ferry on advice (I think!) honestly I'm starting to forget. Also I've been before on the bike, but forgot to take photo's so that's why I'm nicking up there before heading South. I don't plan much, just let it hit me in the face.

@Huzo, what are you doing for accommodation? Are you camping in that weather?

.Not much photo action today. Torrential rain for the most part. Tomorrow lunch time I'll be there.

Yes mostly, but not tonight. Want an easy get away without the buggerising around in the morning. To be honest I'd say 'cos of the weather, rooming 20-30% of the time. That'll change when I get South more. It's just a chance to dry everything out each day in the room, with the heater set to HOT!!!

[Huzo]

Cop an optic on this!

He just hired the rig and went and jagged the big bugger. He didn't even seem that chuffed !

[Xlratr]

You probably know this, but many camp sites in Norway have huts to rent. Nothing luxurious, but the cost is often not much more than camping. It saves having to put a tent up (or even worse, pack if away!) in the rain. Look for a sign saying "Hytter"

Okay! I'd seen the signs and the huts at seperate times but had not sort of joined the dots there. Thanks for the tip. I will be looking for that.

Gildtun. 350 k to go...

[Huzo]

Hmmm, 'Thought it would be warmer given the prediction of 71 degrees. Feels more like 5 !

[Huzo]

Not much happened today. Splashed my way down to the border of Finland and about 150 k past there heading South. Gunna go to Helsinki and cross to Estonia (I think it is !). Anyway here's a sample of the action...






BTW, just a note to the guys who said the top box (trunk) is too big for the bike? It bloody well isn't ! Amazing how everything shrinks when you get more than 100 miles from your workshop...

[Huzo]

Pretty much at Helsinki ready to cross into Estonia. Roadside reindeer VERY hard to see until they move!
Here's a little something, (not much I know), looking forward to Germany again and ummm, that other place, Ummm ...Oh yes, Italy !!

Heading down through Estonia. Got off the ferry in TORRENTIAL rain ! Positively dangerous leaving the confines of the city but all ended up ok. Tomorrow, Lithuania and stuff.


Chez Huzo...


Boarding ferry for Estonia. (There'll be better stuff soon from Germany etc...)

[Huzo]

Hi Huzo, it's certainly a wet European summer. I'll be in or around Mandelo late august. Don't know if you will be that far south by then. Going well mate.

Hi Oz. It's a couple of thousand quiet k's from where I am to Salzburg, which is a destination on this trip. I'll probably be there in 3 days or so. Therefore could swing by your area if you're hanging around. I just checked, the actual location is Berchtesgaden, I think it's in Austria.

[Xlratr]

Not far from the border but Berchtesgaden is actually in Germany.

Whoops 
Thanks for that Ex. I would have probably twigged, but then again... I'm a bit of a bugger for putting things in the Tom Tom and then forgetting where the place was I visited !

[Moz]

Great trip 

[Huzo]

Great trip 

Yeah Moz it is. Not much to get excited about over the last couple of days coming down through Eastern Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and all that..but you've gotta go through there to get to the good bit(s). Either Sweden or Finland. I just smashed the k's out, that's sorta ok too, feeling shagged at the end of the day on a bike is still a good way to go. It was a fair ride from Calais up to Nordkapp, but it was worth it, I forgot to take photo's last year, my mate in Australia said when I got home last year that I'd buggered things up and who knows when I'd ever get the chance again. Well I guess that kind of solved that one. Very much looking forward to seeing the Mosson Dam in Switzerland. (Google it!)
Surprising how the k's rack up though, just that little lot so far adds up to 7,000. I don't think there'll be much change out of 17,000 by the finish.

How's the trye tread goin' then?  Keep the pix coming..

There's bugger all worth photo'ing in This part of the place, but soon in Germany, Italy etc. that'll be different story.

Some flatlanders enjoy seeing other countries flat lands. Fields and homes are different, and interesting.

There's a kind of sadness that pervades everything around this part of Poland. The signs in and around the cities are cheap and garish. It seems stuck in the 50's with a static looking hopelessness that hangs in the air.
 Young pouting girls, stand around with i phones the size of a phone book, and young (also some not so young) guys, hover around aimlessly with a sneering, accusing looking stare. It seems the normal thing for the guys, is to pump iron all day and end up with arms the size of my upper thigh, and get juiced up to the eyeballs on the gear, and set off the look with an ill fitting "EVERLAST" T-shirt.
A tip of the hat by most toward fashion conformity though, is the matching colour of fingertips with teeth.... Yellow
Here's a couple of shots of a new development going up in a nice part of town, and a guy who's been waiting since WW 2 for the Pub to open!

Looks a bit pox in the photo, but no real flat spot forming yet. At 7,500 k's that's ok, I reckon it'll do 16,000...

Missed this Huzo. I'm camping up around andermatt in the Swiss Alps. Will be back in Aarau Switzerland Sunday Tues and Wed the bike is off the road for some TLC. Over 10000k since 21 June then Austria will you still be around this area then?

Looking at Berchtesgaden tomorrow. Won't be far away !
Also, not the first time I've said this, but, your's are bigger than mine. Photo's that is !

[Huzo]

We'll be bloody lucky not to crash into each other ! Also, have you seen how close to the Emmosson Dam you are? Check this...

[Huzo]

Splashing my way down the ??? Motorway/freeway/highway/interstate/.... TRACK!! I decided to have another go at getting breakfast on a Sunday morning in Poland. Stopped at a servo that looked like it was selling distilled cat piss for use in modern Italian motorbicycles.
I passed on the "offer" of petroleum but (for some reason) decided to ask for some breakfast, I figured that I could always stop and wrench my guys out in a roadside ditch, but if the Norge welded itself together I'd be rooted !
The recently released Polish penitentiary inmate said...."FOR SURE YOU WAANT BREAKFAST? I MAAKE YOU BREAKFAST !!!" SHOULD BE NO PRRROBLEM!" You bloody little beauty Sergei, thought I, as he butted out his used Marlboro and wiped his hands on his "apron". The last thing I wanted for breakfast was "BIG PRRROBLEMB" 
I gutsed the bowl of Syccyzzlyccxz soup and it was (as usual) bloody lovely, I wanted to apologise to the young lady waitress for making her put her mobile 'phone down to make my "cappuccino", but when I saw her chuck half a teaspoon of coffee in a plastic cup and added WATER!, I thought maybe she didn't find it too much trouble after all...
Still, there'll be something I'll miss when I leave Poland for Germany... I'm gunna spend the next few hours wondering what it is!



Bloody glad I didn't ask for the boiled cutlets ???

Noice !!!
BTW. What's the deal with old songs in Poland et al. While scoffing my soup, I heard David Dundas'  "When I wake up" and Katrina and the Waves'  " Walking on Sunshine",  dunno where she was walking, but it sure as shit wasn't bloody Poland! Copya'later...

Guess my images are bigger because of the camera. Need good images for my blog.
Didn't get over to the French side of the Alps. So not close to Emosson. The central Alps have kept me busy. Poland sounds interesting mate!
