Lindesnes fyr til Slettnes fyr - Norges fastland på langs

Sove
Jeg valgte å ligge hotell de fleste stedene. Ringte på forhånd og prutet litt på prisen. De fleste stedene lot seg prute litt. Prisen lå mellom 400 og 700 kroner natten, som oftest inklusive frokost.

Dette gjorde at jeg ikke trengte sovepose, telt eller håndkle i sekken.

Mange steder valgte jeg Vertshus. De fleste av dem holder minst like høy standard som hotellene. Det beste var Bårstua Gjestehus i Alta som er nesten nytt, med standard som et 4 stjerne's hotell. Men de har ikke mat så man må bestille frokost på forhånd. Beste mat var Nams Inn som hadde en glimrende frokost inkludert i prisen, men et lite soverom og dusj på gangen. De to dagene i City Living hotellene var også bra, der hadde de vaskemaskin og tørketrommel, som gjorde at jeg fikk vasket det svette tøyet.

Sleeping

I slept in Hotels on my tour. Important for me was to keep the speed up as I had only 13 days. So I did not bring tent, sleeping bags and food, only the most needed for hotel stay and biking.

I stayed at a few “Vertshus” a kind of Motel. The price is often less than half of hotel, and the quality is almost the same. On the positive side I will mention Bårdstua Gjestehus, in Alta (day 11). The room was on level as a 4 star hotel, but they did not have restaurant/food so I had to order breakfast the day before. Nams Inn (day 5) had a small room, but extremely good breakfast buffet included in the price.

Prices on my rooms were between 400 and 700 NOK per night, included breakfast.

There are a lot of camping sites in Norway. Most of them have shower, electricity and a small food store. By the fjords it is seldom more than 20 km between them, but up in the mountain it might be 50-60 km between them. Some of them also have small cabins for rent, a nice and low cost way to stay in case of heavy rain. The Norwegian word is “Campingplass”.

There is also something called “rorbuer”, a small summer house by the fjord for rental.
