From Arendal - Kragergo

After a week, we're taking the ferry again today. Our destination for the day was Risor, a wonderful little town with a very special atmosphere. In this coastal town, we see only impeccably maintained wooden houses. We're surprised by the crowds on the streets. A woman from Munich tells us that a wooden sailing regatta is taking place here this weekend. We also learn that the oldest wooden ferry, built in 1950, is still in operation. We're not going to miss this experience. We take the historic ferry to the next island. On the way, we meet some globetrotters from Sweden and the Netherlands. We exchange experiences with these chatty gentlemen and cycle the same route to the next ferry to Krangero. The men from Sweden are a bit faster than us; they cycle 150-180 km a day on their racing bikes. The young Dutchman is a real adventurer, we can tell from his appearance. We stayed in Kragero and booked the last available room in a sports center. It was a clean, very basic place with simple beds. We took it in stride because we were tired anyway. We enjoyed a relaxing end to the beautiful day.
