5 anni di scuola della sopravivenza

Which of them is Lithuanian and which Norwegian? Yep, some nights are long and hard :D

So,today (25.06) is the 5-th anniversary of my hitchhiking carreer. I'm gonna celebrate it with rock climbing. There are always many people on local crag!
Well, there were no people until 6 pm. So I was just eating nuts, free soloing (as much as I could without shaking too much because of fear), reading a book and taking a nap. At least it was quite good weather (raining only half an hour). Finally people started to come.... almost all of them were Swedish, sooo again the same question: Where are all Norwegians?
We finished climbing some minutes before midnight and then, instead of going to sleep, I started biking. Yep, I know it was a bad idea, but I was told that it started to rain at 4 am, so I decided to escape to eastern side of mountains (in Norway or Europe generally most of the rainfall comes down in western part of mountains). Survival school was continueing...... How many degrees it will be up in the mountains??? You will read from next post.

sinnes-stryn

Next resting (climbing)day will be in Stryn.  600 kms to go. So it will be on sunday probably. I's still raining every day.
After breaking some rules and riding in tunnels i have arrived to voss.  Todays plan is go another 25 kms to myrkedalen.will be uphill ofcourse.
I still hope to get in Stryn for sunday....to take some rest on climbing walls. It was already 3 days of 120 km...pushing myself up over some nice mountains. ;)
23.06 It was the worst weather. Rain 25 hours in a row.

Solvang = offense... yeah, this rain already offended me, its not really hospitable and welcoming

random, tried to take a photo, but it was too slippery to hold the phone.... too wet

wet beauty

my shelter for that night. the 3-rd floor of a barn. When did you last shared your bed with a tractor?

24.06 in evening i arrived to my pitstop Stryn. First thing i did was climbing on their famous rock which doesn't get wet even when its raining thanks to overhang. Some guys were there and i joined ofcourse. From the town i found a group of lithuanian guys with who i had some cconversation,billiard rounds and beers. They also hosted me and i got the possibility to wash my clothes. What a luxury!!

Hard night

Drammen*2

From Drammen i biked to sinnes in 2,5 days

Norwegian style

Not ugly at all

The moment when I understood how stupid it is to not eat proper breakfast if there is 50 kms of mountains and tundra

....... and then hitchhiked back to Drammen because of the climbing party. They were opening a new route on a crag of Hyggen. I had some nice time with all those weird guys there :D. Some of them took the festival seriously wearing nice costumes and consuming a lot of fuel :D.

Getting back to Sinnes was easy but took time. I got a ride from a bus of american football team... directly to Sandnes and their capitan hosted me for last hours of that night.

göteborg-oslo-drammen

Arrived to göteborg at night and got price shock. Until 4.30 i was drinking/talking withtwo local foreigners- Tom from netherland and a girl from finland. Some hours of sleep in small port near to opera house and it was a next day

Near Kongälv, Sweden

Got lost. In some Islands in Bohuslän

Saturday. nice landscapes in bohuslän and lots of climbable rocks. Next day should have been my resting day, but it was raining again. I just lost the day off for waiting rain to stop.
Just to find some more people I decided to change my way.... closer to the sea. Fjällbacka it will be for the night.

Fjällbacka, a touristic and windy but beautiful town in SW Sweden

Aarhus-Frederikshavn

well, last 180 km in denmark. For the night i got to Hadsund. Everything was wet again:)

9.06.2017 easy ride near baltic sea.

Dunes. Once upon a time there was the coastline

Fishermen houses

there is always some wind in Denmark

The landscape and nature was really similar to western estonia. Well, there were much more oak trees near to the sea.... and less pines. Weather was nice in the beginning but just 20 kms before frederikshavn it started to rain and also there was a nice thunderstorm. To the ferry,wet and hangry

Kiel-Haderslev-aarhus

Plaan oli jõuda esimeseks õhtuks Haderslevi lähedale. 143 km google arvates. Juba umbes 40 km Kielist oli tunne, et eriti rohkem ei jouagi :). Siiski täitsin plaani. Arvake ise ära kas ka vihma sadas ja äikest lõi!


For the first riding day my plan was to get to Haderslev. Even though i felt quite dead after first 40 km i still arrived to Haderslev for the night. Of course i didn't need to stay without shower - it was raining heavily and there was also

Kiel canal

Eckernförde

white sand and cool water

Kius..... how should i translate? Estonians will understand :D. there is something to do with bullism... well, it started to rain, so I understood that the god of weather was bullying me

Raining again. Sitting in library of Kolding and waiting for better weather.... Better weather doesnt exist...and i broke my inner tube of back wheel just in the middle of nowhere. I walked a bit...until a village called Gedved. Knocked on one door but I didnt find any common language with that guy... even body langusage didnt work, I walked a bit more and tried again... Fortunately those guys spoke some english and they had pump...and garage where to sleep and dry my things.

Okseburger = puke burger

Somewhere in Denmark, between Haderslev and Kolding

Who told that Denmarek is flat? Actually there are quite many hills

The garage where I fixed my bike, dried things and slept

Kiel

3.06.2017 at 2 am I arrived to Kiel with Mischa.
I the morning we had a long breakfast with a Mischa, his mother and Öfi , small tour around Kiel and some climbing in local boulder hall.
Basically it was a weekend full of cycling, hanging on beach....

Mischa likes to be monkey

touching the water near Plön. Eddie, Mischa and me.

avanti, avanti!

Acqua e sale, non fa male

....and climbing, waterlining above baltic sea, parkour and eating chocolate. Nice ;)

shake, shake, shake.... what was shaking? me or the line? Water was quite cool.... in every sense ;)

Big thanks to photographer.... actually it was maybe 2 seconds of walking the line and a bit more swimming 

Öfi is getting ready
