5 minutes for the glaciers

Would be cool if you'd join the stop global warming virtual march!

Stop the global warming

Scientists have for the first time found evidence that polar bears are drowning because climate change is melting the Arctic ice shelf.

Finally it's over

Comming back to Oslo, we could stay at Christopher's again. Ida was also there who I first met in Tazania. Then back to Gothenburg and back home to Linz in 24 hours. Start at eight am five hours ferry from 4 to 9 pm and then full speed on the highway. Only at around 2am I had to stop for a rest so I parked my bike at a gas station, sat next to it and slept for two hours. When I woke up some bikers were refuling their bikes looking very sceptic at me, not sure if they should help me or if I was ok. I reached Linz at around eight and fell asleep, tired from a wonderful trip to a beautiful place on earth and the nicest people ever!

Hiking

We stayed one more day in Flåm to do some hiking. Christopher told us about a cool daytrip through the mountains of Flåm and around. In the morning we took the bus to somewhere in the mountains - Norwegian names are hard to remember! And we had a wonderful hike down to Flåm. The funny thing was that after all the days on the bike we had to much energy to just hike like normal people, no, we were running the whole way. The day hike became a four hour run. After some fun in the tent we fell asleep quite early - was a hard day...

climbing the mountain

After an extreme night in the tent - remember cold kili nights? we climbed one of the mountains close to the big glacier to get a good view and we got a really good view! On the way south we passed the oldest stave church in Urnes but we didn't go there. If you saw one you saw them all. Our next stop was Flåm with famous Flåmsbana - " The train journey provides some of Norway's wildest and most magnificent scenery. On the 20 km-long train ride you can see rivers that cut through deep ravines, waterfalls cascade down the side of steep, snow-capped mountains and mountain farms cling dizzily to sheer slopes."
Well, it was a nice ride but expensive (like everything in Norway) and after we saw all the crazy landscape with the motorbike it actually was boring for us. But we got some nice pictures.

National Geographic

We had to get up early to reach the ferry to cross Geirangner Fjord. What a trip! The sun was comming through the clouds, it was getting warm and the Fjord is just poa fucking kabisa! When we reached Geiragner, the village the MS Deutschland a huge cruise ship was there what looked so cool. We took some postcard pictures and I tried some off road driving :-)
In the afternoon we reached Jostedalsbreen again from the other side where we could see it even better. In that remote area Lovisa tried the first time in her live to ride a motorbike and she had really fun - she was driving 120km/h. Crazy!!! There was really a lot happening that day - we also found that area that was closed for public because of a wounded bear that was running around.
For the night we stayed almost on top of a mountain close to Jostedalsbreen. We were completely alone. Only some sheeps kept company. At night even the sheeps left because it was getting really cold up there - no wonder so close to the glacier...
