After an awesome night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast buffet (where it is the done thing to stock up with food for your lunch - yay) we wrapped up warm, checked out and grabbed our bikes. It was only at this point that we realised our hotel was connected to the building next door by […]
So it’s up early, scoff some breakfast and head out to the train station for our journey to the beginning of our ride. Train is a great way to see the country except that the many tunnels you go through when you are near sea level can get slightly tedious. That said, our trip to […]
A few weekends back Anne and I headed to Norway. It turned into possibly the unluckiest holiday we have ever been on…
