Norway Fjords with motorcycle :
Day-13 : 16 July 2016  Saturday
from Alta >>>to Tromsö :-Total distance : 305 km

After the wonderful breakfast at the Hotel in Alta I departed around 09:00 o'clock. The sky was clear and blue and the weather was nice. I took the route all along the fjord and in a short time (after 10 kms) I reached to a nice view point where I stopped my bike and took some pictures.

The road conditions are perfect and the view is attractive. I crossed the bridge. 

10 kms on the south of Alta

After riding for more then 1 hour I stopped at the hill looking over the fjord. It was just after the town called Storslett. While I was resting there, a group of Chinese cyclists came and stopped around me. It is really great job to climb with the bicycles.

 At the  front  extension of the hill there was  a pair making camping there.  Meanwhile, two french families came to the parking site with their motocaravans. I had to leave. 
I reached to Olderdalen where I took a ferry at 12:40. I bought a coffee at the Kiosk at the pier and  talked with the guy there. He is a German guy and living here for more then 15 years. I ate also one of my sandwiches which I had prepared at the breakfast in the Hotel Thon in Alta. The ferry costs 84.-Krones and takes to  Lyngseidet in 40 minutes.

After embarkment at Lyngseidet I rode 15 kms to the next ferry station callled Svensby. This ferry took us to Breivikiedet. This one costs 66.-Krones and departed at 14:00 o'clock.
It took around 30 minutes. After the ferry I rode around 45 kms. I was just on the other side of Tromsö.There is a Shell Fuel Station close to the white building which is a church with modern design.  Tromsö is a city on an island and a long bridge is connecting it to the mainland. The fuel costs 15.22 Krones/liter. Roughly 1.60-1.65 Euro/liter. After crossing over the bridge I arrived at the town Tromsö and I found my Hotel St.Elisabeth. I had booked the Hotel in Alta and it costs around 55.-Euro. It is a well furnished old building having a nice view over the sea. The building have been used as a hospital operated by the church but is already converted into a hotel. The surrounding area is very safe for parking motorbikes.
The hotel St. Elisabeth is located little bit outside of the city centre. It takes 5-6 minutes by walking to the centre.

I went out from the Hotel around 17:00. There was a little rain. I moved my motorbike to the little shed just in front of the hotel. I walked to the seaside. There were a few passengers from the cruise ship walking in the streets. The port of Tromsö is clean and neat.

I walked through the streets. It was raining softly. There is also a modern looking glas building which is the Public Library. Adjacent to the library I saw at the corner a bistro called Bardus. It is at Cora Sandalsgate 4. It was looking cosy. I enterde the bistro and sat down. First I decided to drink a wine there. But I felt happy and fine so I ordered something to eat. I ate shellfish soup and as the main dish I took Cod fish.

After the dinner at the Bardus Bistro I went down to a street close to the sea. I saw  a few bars on both sides of the street. I sat down at one of these bars and took some beer. There were a few people in the bar as well on the streets. 

Then I started to walk to my Hotel. It was 22:00 o'clock when I came back to the hotel. I drank a coffe in the lobby and I talked with the girl in the reception. She was a nice and young girl. She was working temporarily in the hotel and she had aimed to go to Oslo to study nursary. Later on I went to my room to sleep.
