June 2001 Congratulations, Trond! Norway –
Australia. One year and 24000 km on a bicycle - alone! You have done it!
(July 2000 - June2001) |
||||||
|
||||||
|
||||||
On the seventh of July 2000 Trond
embarked on the journey of his life. Through the next twelve months he did
not teach secondary school students at Otta in Norway (about 100km north of
Lillehammer), he was on his bicycle making a dream come true. We followed him, tracing his
progress - and when he managed to get
some e-mails through to us as he pedalled along winding roads and steep
inclines, exploring exotic villages and meeting interesting people we published
them here. This journey took him from Otta
(Norway) through Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary,
Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India (west), Nepal, India (east)
Bangladesh, Myanmar/Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore , Indonesia and across
Australia. |

On the seventh of July 2000
Trond left Otta. He made a short stop in Ruste, near Vinstra where this foto
was taken. |
