DAY 10 - ALESUND TO BERGEN


First sign of the day

Left hotel at 7.30am and headed for our first ferry of the day. Been raining
overnight but drying out as we leave.
We join Frances this morning and arrive at the ferry crossing for just after
8am.


First port of the day

Ed reckons we missed the first ferry as I spent too much time in the WC.......whatever can he mean??
 Anyhow, 8.10 and she's on her way back.

Leaving  Solavagen and heading  across the pond to Festoya.  Arrived 9.22 at
Volda and heading to Folkestad.
Weather still dry but cloudy.

Arrived next ferry at Lote for 10.23am. Heading over to Anda. Good run down E39
and weather holding up well.
11.25 first fuel stop as Frances's bike doesn't have the range  of the GS's.
Rain just started.

A wee trip across this awaits

Water, water everywhere......

....and even more water!!
Arrived Dragsvik after a spirited ride over the mountain pass.......CLASS. What a
great ride!......  Loads of twists and turns, hairpins.  Just what we came for.

Next ferry is to Vangsnes and due to leave at 2.10pm. Sun is back out but temp was
down to 12 degrees on the mountain.
There's a road hiding behind all that mist.......

.......there really is!


Arrived hotel Bergen after 2hours of lashing rain. Bikes parked up, quick shower
and out for a bite to eat.
