We arrived around 8:45pm and cycled another 10km to make it to 94km for the day. We set up camp just off the main road by a pond, which we soon found out was swarmed by mosquitos.<\/p>\n<p>This morning we were more efficient than yesterday, managing to depart camp at 9:30am. The roads today were perfect &#8211; smooth, not hilly, and fast. We first stopped at kilometre 50 for lunch &#8211; a pretty meagre cheese and chorizo on Norwegian style pita bread. Viki&#8217;s deraileur was having issues and her chain kept falling off. After successive adjustments over the course of the day, we think we&#8217;ve fixed it.<\/p>\n<p>We managed a whopping 120.3km today, as we&#8217;re trying to make the long ferry to Bodo in two days from now. That&#8217;s still 240km away, so we&#8217;re hoping to do another two 120km days in a row.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve set up camp beside a cemetery &#8211; a strategy recommended by my mum, as there&#8217;s always a water supply at a cemetery. This one also comes with a rather nice view of the ocean!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>120.3km Distance 553m Elevation We left off our update yesterday evening on the ferry to Andenes.
