Still in Norway. We've made it to the Arctic Circle, albeit by a different route to that we had planned. Our original route went up the coast to Sandnessjoen, and then inland to Moi i Rana, and then up to Bodo. However, that involved riding on the E6, and everyone we've spoken to has said the E6 is not in any way bike-friendly.
So, with a little assistance from ridewithgps.com and booking.com we've changed our route and accommodation for the last three days, sticking to the coast road rather than going onto the E6. It does mean lots of ferries, and it has meant early mornings to make sure we get to the ferry in time for the crossing, but I think it's the right decision. Even if it did mean we crossed into the Arctic Circle while on a ferry rather than on our bikes.
Still, we're now in the Arctic Circle, in a little town called Inddyr. Last day's riding tomorrow, then an overnight train from Bodo back to Trondheim, then flights back to our respective homes. Here's some pictures:
