		<description><![CDATA[Things have been happening here. Monday evening I pitched my last camp in Nordmarka, a forested area north of our capital. When I woke up Tuesday morning, there was actually frost on the ground! All the same, it was good to spend one last night in my tent, reflect on my experiences of these last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 16h of September and I have reached the town of Hamar. Within Tuesday morning I expect to reach Oslo. In hindsight, I am really glad I made it across the mountains near Geiranger day before yesterday. Yesterday the road I climbed was closed, with snows reaching down to 700 metre altitudes – [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the 14th of September and it really is autumn now. I notice that especially well when I journey by bicycle. I’ve been in Ørsta for a few day, visiting my son Max. He’s attending a folkehøgskole there – that’s sort of a residential college. So for several days I have been relaxing here, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the 9th of September. I’m lying in my tent on the Nordmøre coast and in a fine mood. The day before yesterday I reached Trondheim; Ålesund is another 120 kilometres south of here – and I expect to reach that town sometime tomorrow evening. It fascinates me how the dialects keep changing as I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the 6th of September. Yesterday Bjarte and I pedalled through the town of Sandnessjøen and made our way down the magnificent coast of Helgeland – through Tjøtta, Brønnøysund, and Sømna and on to Namsos. That’s where we spent the night. Now we’ve reached Steinkjer, making steady progress on the map. We’re still covering roughly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the 4th of September. Yesterday I reached a small milestone: crossing the Arctic Circle. It feels like the wind is chasing me – it’s not so different from part of our trek through Frants Josef Land, except now it’s raining harder. And of course there are tunnels here. Long tunnels, one of them 8 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the port of Bodø, just before departure on two wheels. Photo: Jonas Mjaaland I have started the last phase of my journey. On Thursday we arrived in Bodø, and I used that day to write letters, prepare my bicycle, and to purchase some items that I needed. Yesterday I set off in the rain! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is Børge again. So much has been happening that I simply haven’t had time to keep up with my reports. Everything went well in Murmansk; we passed through customs and got our passports stamped. Then our captain set sail for the North Cape. Due to strong winds, we were unable to reach shore there, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, this is Børge again. It’s the 19th of August and we are just leaving the port of Murmansk. We came here last night, and the pilot who came on board brought our boat safely to the pier. In the course of the night we were visited by custom agency officials, representatives of the border [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the 17th of August, and we’re still out in the Barents Sea. The delay is due to the rather abominable weather we’ve been having up here. It now looks like we shall be calling at Murmansk on Sunday morning, 19th of August. Here we will get the necessary documents stamped by the Russian authorities, [...]]]></description>
