Packing up camp is always rather time consuming, so by the time we had breakfasted and loaded the bikes it was 10:30am.<\/p>\n<p>It was 40km to Skaland, where we stopped for lunch and tried cooking eggs over the stove. They weren&#8217;t particularly easy to cook without oil, over a one-temperature camp stove, but they worked out in the end. Look for us by the 1.7km junction to Skaland on Google Street View &#8211; the GSV car passed us!<\/p>\n<p>We continued the cycle through a grand total of 7 tunnels over the next 40km, the longest reaching 2.1km. These are pretty bleak places on a bike, some of them including steep hills, with poor lighting. When cars pass, they sound like they&#8217;re going 10^6km\/hr, when in reality we&#8217;ve always been given loads of room.<\/p>\n<p>At around 5pm, we made it to Gryllefjord, with the next ferry to Andenes leaving at 7pm. Pro tip &#8211; get the Troms Mobilit app to save 30% on ferry tickets! With some time to kill, we explored the grocery store (and saw reindeer and whale sausages!) and cooked couscous with eggs and cheese for dinner.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>80km Distance 915m Elevation We woke up to our beautiful campsite this morning at 7:45am.
