🧠 Thoughts from the Road:
We met some great people today interested in our journey. A couple from Norway who gave us the look of pitty when they heard we wer heading for Nordkapp 🙂 A Germay biker who just replied “you are crazy” We will soon know for sure!
Denmark is a very beautiful country but we didn’t find the roads exciting to ride & very restricted with speed limits.
🛌 Tonight’s Stay:
🏨 Location: Thon Hotel Kristiansand. 24 hour reception, underground carpark (extra cost) & luggage room. Great breakfast.
🧼 Amenities: underground carpark (extra cost) & luggage room. Great breakfast.
