18 Days in Northern Norway

Here we go: 18 days in Northern Norway with two backpacks, my racing bike, and a huge dose of anticipation. I don’t have any concrete plans yet, but I have an endless number of ideas, allowing me to adapt to the rather unpredictable weather at any moment. I will be staying (with a few exceptions) in Tromsø (pronunciation: Trumsö) in an Airbnb room.

Since this is my first time flying with the bike packed in luggage and I didn't do a trial packing, the day before departure was especially exciting. But it worked out! I took off the wheels, bicycle rack, saddle and bar, pedals, and handlebars, padded everything well, and then stuffed in my helmet, bags, and tools. I adhered to the maximum weight for the bike bag with a buffer of 300g (22.7 kg).

Every one to two days, there will be a little status update from me on this blog (sometimes without text, just pictures). Otherwise, the vacation is under the motto: digital detox.
