I'm in Norway!

I just arrived in Alta last night at about 11pm (we left Sheffield at 6am), the last flight was a bit bumpy but took less time than it was meant to.

I got to the airbnb abd feel straight asleep. This morning I got up, put my bike back together, had some breakfast and then headed into town to get some gas and some food. Turns out Norway is as expensive as everyone says, so I got some instant noodles and soups.

Im sat out by the water about 10km out from Alta at the moment, the bike seems okay and the road seems alright, the drivers are very cycle friendly.

My plan is to get about 40-60km or so done today and then ramp up from that.

I've talked to a few of the locals (who all talk to me first in Norsk) and they've all said it can snow on Nordkapp anytime and the road was closed twice last May, but it's sunny and about 10 degrees at the moment so it should be alright.

I'll try and add some photos when I next get Wi-Fi but currently everything is going well!
