The road is great, and we maintain a good average, having fun driving, obviously without risk!
The first destination of the day is to me particularly significant.
Internal program provided four objectives, to say things, personal: the first, to reach the Arctic Circle (goal achieved today ); the second (of course) get Caponord; the third visit the Baltic republics; the fourth visit Auschwitz.
I can say I have achieved the first goal!
Eighty miles from Mo I Rana, we arrive at 9:30 and we are among the first visitors? The commemorative monument is located on a plateau at some of my traveling companions reminds Campo Imperatore (I've never been, account pern to visit soon).
For the rest, there are so many? Totem?, Small and large, built with stones and? Inevitable souvenir shop (I have not taken anything, but Claudio gave me a sticker to attach to your bike? Claudio thanks!).
We leave after about a? Now to head calmly to the scheduled stop for refueling and lunch and then to the ferry, starting at 14.30, arriving at about Lofoten Islands? Hour later.
Landed at the port, we expect about another 100 km to reach our accommodation?
The road c beautiful, bridges, lakes, mountain, boats, waterfalls, ups and downs, fantastic views, in short, a truly, so much so that we stopped several times to take pictures and the group eventually split into three four sides?

Norway, really beautiful and features.
We arrive at about six o'clock in the afternoon and we are told that some local boys had just taken a bath in the icy waters of the sea.
The temperature (of oxygen) of 15 degrees c but c? Has a splendid sun? us? hard? mica motorcyclists will not be less than some northern boy? Pathway in the room to take the costume and then, oplr, a jump and we are also in the water!
Today Has Been a hot day, full of sunshine and certainly did not Seem to be at Certain latitudes? At one point in the afternoon I put myself in costume in the sun!

At 11 we take The Boat That takes us for a ride to? Inside of a fjord, then fishing cod in the first person of the Norwegian Sea and finally the sweet Viking captain's daughter, after stiff the poor fish to the sound of bludgeoned in the head, cuts them and throws them into the sea to attract the sea gulls and a couple of pairs of sea eagles That, though, just flying in the distance.
During the boat ride, Which takes about three hours, Also we are offering a fish soup, Which We take very willingly, Because in spite of the sun,? Sea air is always cold.
In the afternoon, came back into our houses, we devote ourselves to rest Those Who wash the bike, I'm going to take a while?
