Day 13 - 11/07/2013

Day 13 Svartevatn to Hirtshals (DK) 4324 miles since leaving home. 172 miles today + 1 Ferry. Another great sunny and warm day. We rode over a mountain pass which was lovely - nice to see the clouds beneath us. We got Kjeragsbolten but the rocks I wanted to see involved hiking and climbing which we didn't have time for so we turned around and took the scenic route to Kristiansand where we opted to get an evening ferry over to Denmark rather than camp in Norway again. The ferry was full but they squeezed us on in 'Comfort Class' which has no benefits above 'Basic Class'. That said 'Comfort Plus' came with free food and drink. Good to see the class system is alive and well here. This way we will also camp in Germany tomorrow leaving us a shorter run to Hook of Holland on Saturday. Had a couple of hours to spare and some Norwegian Krona to burn so we treated ourselves to some very large burgers and chips (and Coke) from a Bangladeshi eatery. £35 was a bit much, but that's as cheap as food gets in these parts! We spent the last of our Norwegian money on the boat from Kristiansand to Hirstals, and found ourselves camping up in a seaside campsite - late arrival at 11pm Danish time, as well as having to set up the tent in limited light. In conclusion, today wasn't anything too special and though it is sad to leave Norway, we can now make easier progress back home.
