Goodbye Norway, Hello Denmark! (again) Arriving in Kristiansand about two days ahead of schedule (it really was all downhill from Hauggrend!), we shifted our ferry tickets up a day without much trouble and proceeded to find a camping spot near yet another abandoned military outpost. This one significantly less ominious than the German installation in France, due to the fact that the grounds on which it sits have been converted to a public park.
We left Kristiansand just in time, however. Immediately after leaving port aboard the Superspeed 1, the rain started coming down in sheets.
Arriving in Hirtshals, Denmark three hours later the weather wasn't much better... forcing us to spend most of our day hiding under the tarp, waiting for the rain to subside. One slightly damp forest camping spot later, we pedalled into Nørresundby/Aalborg to visit Asbjørn. We've had a great time here, catching up on Internet work, checking the results of the Olympics, eating good food, and deliberately watching terrible movies. It's now time to move our stinky bike bags and dirty shoes out of Asbjørn's apartment, heading southward on Denmark's National Bike Route #3. We're aiming to traverse the entirety of Denmark, arriving in Hamburg, Germany on the 28th, from which we will hop a train to Wuppertal (we'd bike it, but unfortunately there are some time restraints.) Look out Toby, here we come!
In the meantime, we probably wont see much Internet between here and there, so we will post again in Hamburg or Wuppertal next week. Take care.

It was very nice to have you visiting. If you ever come through Aalborg again - for whatever reason - let me know. You'll always have a place to stay here. :)
Great to hear more about your trip. I'm camping, too, and trying out the tent that I will bring.
Glad to know that you had some downhill biking. I'm looking forward to hearing about biking in Denmark.
When we come home, Rick will pick us up in the newly converted greasemobile. I am picking it up tomorrow.
Can't wait for you to be here. It's gonna be fun.
