Another scorchio day. My theory is that when it's hot here it gets very hot as it doesn't cool down in the nighttime - because there isn't any night time. Early sauna and swim then a large breakfast with doggy bags and timed ride to perfection to pick up the allowed transit through some road works.

Dropped into the Tromso valley and immediately everything was busier . A couple of bridges took us to the Arctic cathedral, a fitting end to Ewen's journey.
