Stage 1: Geneva to Stavanger
The first stage of my journey takes me from Lake Geneva region through Germany to Denmark and over the Baltic sea to southern Norway.
In brief here are a few stats:
- Over 2,000kms covered in 48 hours
- 995kms by motorcycle
- Overnight train and ferry
- Ride the Lysebotn (Lysevegen Road) with its 27 hairpin bends
And in pictures…
Packed and ready to leave on the first leg.
Checkin for the overnight train from Lörrach to Hamburg.
After a long hot night on the sleeper train, we arrived in Hamburg, Germany.
After long hot ride over 500kms through Denmark, we reach the port town of Hirshals.
Preparing to board the Lysefjord ferry near Stavanger, Norway.
Under the towering cliffs you feel less than an ant, dwarfed by the sheer scale of the surrounding scenary.
Hanging precariously 800m above the fjord, the Preikestolen is hard to miss. Renown as the most famous lookout point in Norway.
At the end of the Lysefjord is the Lysevegen Road with its 27 hairpin bends it snakes its way up the 900m ascent above Lysebotn.
Impressive.You certainly must have been moving!!! Where are Arja & the girls in all this?
They are having a holiday up north with Mormor, waiting for me to join them later this month.
