Trondheim > STAVANGER

DAY 39 - 601 miles (998km) travelled today and overnight :-(
Total Distance Travelled = 11,147 miles (17,970km)(TDT)

Up early in Trondheim to make a move for Stravanger. As Justine has explained, we are flying while Stuart is doing the drive with our new friend and driver Roy. Mad.

Oh Stravanger! What have they done to you?

You've got this stupid rule that states you can't sell whisky in a bar along side beer and wine.
The bars in stravanger are only allowed to sell whisky until 1am. But they can stay open 'til 3am if they sell beer and wine. Along with having to go outside to smoke and leave your beer inside, which you often lose on you way back in, the clubs and venues are gonna suffer.

Makes you wanna give up smoking. And drinking. Which I guess is probably a good idea for me to do if I'm gonna make it through this tour in one piece.

Back to the this evening. We are joined for tonight and tomorrow by a band called The Beautiful People. They sound good this lot! Should get something out of this business. If they can get over to England.

They come from the north of Norway where there are only 17000 inhabitants. It's dark for most of the year. And there's nothing much to do.

They sound like a lively Joy Division and a bit like interpol. Check 'em out.

Show was ok. Wasn't our best. But these things happen. Also we're up for a quite night tonight. So once the van is packed the rest go back to the hotel. Paul and me stay for a couple more. And things don't get messy for once.
