August, 8 - Norway on road no. 17: Jan Koelstra
from Den Haag, Holland. Half the year, he is working as a legal computer-hacker for the Dutch government, the rest of the
year, he cycles around, most of the time in Norway. His bike is from Koga Miata. He said, this is an important fact, because
they give a lifetime guarantee on the frame, which has broken already three times. - I wondered, then he added: "The first time
after 108.000 km"
August, 19 - near Namsos, Norway: Bruno Bucher
(l) and Franz Lemann (r) from Bern, Switzerland cycling up to the North cape. They
just recently celebrated their 4000th km.
August, 22 - Trondheim, Norway: Joel Buton uses his feet to travel. Stared in 1999 in Paris, France, he went through Great Britain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. So far, this added up to 19.000 km. His luggage weight 150 kg and he carries this by hand with his trolley. He needs all the luggage, because his nail beds are so heavy. His journey continues through Finland, Russia, Belarus, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain, Portugal till he reached La France again. From Paris, we will fly to Washington on this Mission: Peace.
