well... got out of my tent this morning overlooking the water, removed the tick on my stomach, then changed my second flat tire of the trip. yeah, i'm becoming a pretty good bike mechanic. john and i then got on a train to kristiansand Norway. we are coachsurfing here for the next two days. due to some stops along the way we could not quite make it there in time, there fore we are taking the train. one of the cool stops we made along the way was preikastolen (the picture is of us at the top!!) we hiked almost two hours to get up to this cliff overlooking the fjord. it was so breathtaking. the previous day we had met some really cool aussies biking throughout europe and eventually biking to south africa (yeah biking the entire continent of africa, makes john and i feel like wimps!) so we hung out with them in stavanger norway. norway is such a beautiful country.. they have such beautiful forests, beaches, great rock formations... truly beautiful. and lucky for us... the weather here has actually been warm! i know... i thought it would never come. soon you'll be hearing me bitch about how hot it is and how much i miss the cold!
