Vakar isgasdinau zmones. Jau sutemus, apie 22:30, sedejau trobeleje ir pasisviesdamas ciklopu ruosiausi rasyti dienorasti. Nepastebetai prie upes atsirado trys vyrukai, matyt pakile i 8% kalna sustojo pasizvalgyti. Ziuriu i juos pro langa, nenoredamas, kad mane pamatytu. Vienas is ju keistai atkreipe demesi i namuka, pradejo atidziau kazka tyrineti. Visai pamirsau apie ant galvos sviecianti ciklopa. Susiprates greitai isjungiau ir nenoredamas dar labiau atkreipti demesio uzlipau i trobeles antra auksta, visi daiktai jau buvo uznesti. Vyrukams pasidare smalsu kas trobeleje yra. Prieje dairesi, bet nieko nepamate, antras aukstas buvo paskendes tamsoje. Isivaizduoju apie ka chebryte veliau diskutavo :).
Nakti temperatura nukrito iki +8, vel pradejo lyti, dziaugiaus turedamas sausa vietele.

Issimiegojau puikiai, 8 val pazadino saules spinduliai. Rytas sauletas butent to ir tikejausi. Silpnai skaudejo koju raumenys...skauda reiskia auga :). Papusryciavau zvalgydamasis i kalnus. Jauciausi puikiai, kalnai mano stichija. Ryte atsivere tolimesni vaizdai, pasimate dar nematytos virsukalnes. Susipakavau manta ir i trasa. Tikejausi 8% 2km, o gavau net 23. Tokio lengvo rytinio pasivazinejimo dar neturejau. Leidausi nemindamas 1,5 val su sustojimais fotografavimui bei graziu vietu apziurai. Prisiminiau 20 km naktini nusileidima misko zvyrkeliu, bet tai nesulyginama. Pirmoje stoteleje apziurejau dviguba 200 m aukscio kriokli. Ispudingas vaizdas, tokio auksto vandens kritimo nebuvau mates. Cia sutikau is apacios pakilusi "crazy guy on bike". Nepaisant vesoko oro, zmogus buvo visiskai issirenges, tik veliau supratau koki pakilima jis padare ir kiek jegu tam atidave. Toliau pavaziaves keleta simtu metru privaziavau pirmaji tuneli per kalna. Priesais ivaziavima kabojo zenklas draudziantis vaziuoti dviraciais. Kelias aptvertas apsaugine tvorele, salia kelio vienoje puseje status slaitas zemyn, kitoje i virsu, o atgal keliu 8 % pakilimas. Net nemanydamas grizti, neriau i kalno giluma. Jausmas, vaziuojant vingiuotu tuneliu 45 km/h greiciu, visiskai naujas. Taip, tai pavojinga, bet visa kelione yra ekstrymas. Po pirmojo tunelio pasirode antrasis, veliau trecias, pradejo lyti, pervaziuojant is vieno i kita gaudavau lietaus doze. Nusileidimas atrode nesibaigs. Pasiekus Eidfjorda, zemiau leistis nebebuvo kur :), pasiekiau juros lygi. Nuvaziaves 23 km is 1200 m nusileidau i 0 m virs juros lygio. Apacioje pasitiko saule. Fjordo gale isikures Eidfjordo miestelis - rojus Norvegijos platumose. Reikia pamatyti, sunku nupasakoti. Is miestelio link Odda, vede kelias nr.13. Nors zemelapyje jis pazymetas kaip pagrindinis ir turetu buti platus, is tikruju labiau primena salutini. Kelias daug kur susiaureja iki pravaziavimo vienai masinai. Automobilistams tokiu keliu vaziuoti sudetinga, o man vienas malonumas. Vanduo ir kalnai, graziausias derinys pasaulyje, nesibaigianti pasakiska panorama visa kelia. Daug laiko skyriau fotografavimui, norejosi uzfiksuoti gamtos grozi kol saule sviecia. Vaziuojant keliu radau avieciu, prisivalgiau iki soties. Kaimeliuose norvegai siulo pirkti tresnes. Kai kur prekyvietese nera pardavejo, tiesiog ant staliuko sudetos dezutes su tresnem ir dezute pinigams, neitiketinas norvegiskas patiklumas ir saziningumas. Pora kartu uzlijo, nemalonu, bet kai vel saule uzkaitina nera taip blogai. Apie 19 val radau palapinei vieta ant fjordo kranto. Priesais, kitoje fjordo puseje, iskilusios didingos snieguotos virsukalnes. Vakare apeme nuovargis, per ji net sunku ivertinti visa sios vietoves grozi.

E7 kelyje baigiau siandienos kelione. Nakvynei radau kalnu trobele salia snioksciancios upes. Trobele siek tiek apleista, bet turi tvirta stoga ir tvarkinga kambari antrame aukste. Neitiketina, bet visa tai gavau nemokamai :). Iki jos antra pusdieni vaziavau lyjant lietui, retkarciais uzpusdavo stiprus vejas, temperatura svyravo tarp 12-9 laipsn. Pervaziavau Europoje didziausia kalnu ploksciakalni (iskiles 1000-1200 m virs juros lygio). Oras nenusiseke, bet kaip sakoma sito neuzsisakysi. Vaizdai panasus i tuos, kuriuos gali pamatyti tik kalnuose :), skirtumas, kad cia visa grozi matai vaziuodamas asfaltuotu keliu. E6 priskirtas nacionaliniam turistiniu keliu tinklui. Grozis prasideda nuo "ski resort'o" - Geilo. Miestelis pilnas kalnu dvasios: restoranai, sport shop'ai, barai, dviraciu ir pesciuju takai, salia skirtingose miesto pusese dvi didziules slidinejimo trasos. Nors kalnai cia neauksti (~1200m), bet trasu infrastruktura atrodo ispudingai. Pasak istoriniu saltiniu pirmoji Geil'o kalnu slidinejimo trasa pradejo veikti pries 100 metu. Miestelyje radau atvira 200 metu senumo norvegisku namuku muzieju. Apziurejau juos is vidaus, susipazinau su norvegu kuklumu ir vargais senoveje.
Is Geilo isvaziavau apie 14 val, nuo cia iki pat sustojimo 19 val lyjo. Kelias vingiavo palei ezerus ir upes, tai kilo tai leidosi, tolumoje matesi bukos kalnu virsunes panirusios i debesis, snieguoti ju slaitai. Vaziuojant pasiekiau riba kai sniega galejau pasiekti vos uz 20 metru, buvau pakiles i 1200 auksti. Pakeliui sutikau dvi poras dviratininku turistu bei begale norvegu su kemperiais ir namukais ant ratu. Panasiai kaip ir Svedijoje, siandien lietus padejo minti. Maziau stovinejau, daugiau koncentravausi i kelia. Nepaisant vejo ir lietaus vidutinis greitis vaziuojant per kalnus yra geras. Minant i kalna vaziuoju 7-12 km/h, pradedant leistis isvystau 30-60 km/h greiti. Siandienos keliones pabaigoje leidausi 6% statumo keliu, nemindamas nuriedejau 7 km :). Rytdienai pasilikau saldainiuka pusryciams :) - is kart nuo trobeles prasideda 8% 2 km nusileidimas. Ryt planuoju pasiekti pirmaji tikraji fjorda.

Kelios padrikos mintys:
Gera su Vaude mokasinais nuo lietaus, kojos isliko sausuteles.
Keliauju kaip vabalas, negriztu i ta pacia vieta.
I kalna minti sunku, bet visada zinai kad bus smagus nusileidimas.
Salta ir dregna, bet vistiek kaifas.
Zmones sveikina prasilenkdami, malonu kad supranta.
Palapineje gerai, bet per lietu po namo stogu dar geriau.
Kartais bunu vaiduokliu ir gasdinu zmones :).

Sauletas rytas. Diena prasidejo nuo jogos pratimu ir melyniu rinkimu. Salia stovyklos radau dar daugiau melyniu nei vakar. Melynes dideles kaip vysnios, ant krumeliu priaugusios kaip serbentai, echh...sociai prisivalgiau. Antrieji pusryciai is 'Godago' - virti kvieciu dribsniai su vaisiais ir medumi. Saldziai bevalgant dar pasigaminau pietus ir 1 ltr arbatos. Turejau atsargoje daugybe papildomu kaloriju ir troskulio malsintuvu, pasiruosiau kaip zinodamas.
Kelias pradzioje kilo i virsu, platus geras asfaltas su graziais vaizdais i kalnus. Numyniau 4 km per 30 min. Po pusvalandzio kelias vis dar kilo. Po 1 val iveikiau 9 km. Minti pasidare sunku, deja kelio atgal man nebuvo. Kai kur ispudzius paivairino 'laukines' avys. Guli sau viduri kelio ar visai salia jo, sildosi, nekreipia demesio i pravaziuojancios masinas, issigasta tik manes :). Ar as joms baisus atrodau, ar siaip neaiskus? Soka i sali kai iki manes lieka 2 m, o iki tol ziuri ir kazko laukia. Kvailas padaras ir is elgesio ir is isvaizdos. Minu as i kalna ieskodamas zemelapyje trumpesnio kelio i Gol'i. Nusiziuriu keliuka per kalnus nuo Bagn'o, planuoju susitrumpinti kelia 30-cia km. Kitu keliu vaziuojant iki Gol'io 90 km. Minu i kalna ir galo nesimato. Numynus apie 13 km per 1,5 val, pradedu leistis. Privaziuoju zenkla '10% nusileidimas', patrinu rankas :), uzsidedu salma ir visu greiciu zemyn. Vaziuoti tokiu greiciu, tarp kalnu, 8 km zemyn, saulei svieciant...fantastiskai bepriotiskai malonu. Cia pasiekiau asmenini greicio rekorda su pakrautu dviraciu - 68 km/h. Rizikinga, bet malonu. Besileidziant sutikau trejeta isvargusiu dviratininku kylanciu i virsu, treniruojasi zmogeliai. Nusileidus per keleta minuciu, pazvelgiau i virsu ir pagalvojau, kad del to vertejo 1,5 val kilti. Bagn'as - jaukus miestelis tarp kalnu, issidestes palei Bagne upe. Neuzsibudamas, susiradau trumpesni keliuka i Gol'i, ivaziavau ir pradejau kilti. :) po 3 min supratau kad neiveiksiu, per statu ir per toli. Tolumoje maciau gal 600 m aukscio kalna, o remiantis zemelapiu, vaziuojant siuo keliuku nusimate dar keletas aukstesniu vietu. Atsisakiau idejos trumpinti kelia ir numyniau pagrindiniu. Pagridinis kelias E16 ne ka malonesnes, vel visa laika i virsu. Minu 9-13 km/h greiciu. Dar valanda kilimo per sia diena. Issigelbejimas nuo panikos kylant - saldainiai ir gera muzika is mp3. Po valandeles pasiekiau kelio luzio taska, pradejau leistis. Deja nusileidimas nebuvo labai ilgas, kelias issitiesino ir miniau normaliu greiciu. Pasizvalgydamas tai i upe tai i kalnus numyniau 25 km. Si atkarpa labai nenurvargino, nors jegu pareikalavo nemazai. Su pusryciais ir dviem bananais skrandyje pasukau i 51 kelia link Gol'io. Aisku, pasirinkimo neturejau, nes tai geriausias kelias iki Haugesundo vakaru pakranteje, zinojimas kas manes laukia nieko
nebutu pakeites. Zemelapyje aukstis nepazymetas, atrode kelias normalus, o tik pradejus juo vaziuot vel kilau i virsu. Pradzioje buvo ramu, 1 val kelio numyniau kantriai. Veliau uz kievieno posukio pradejau tiketis pamatyti nusileidima, deja jo nebuvo dar ilgai. Keletas poilsio sustojimu ir pirmas 'nebegaliu'. Nuo karstos saules, energijos trukumo ir nesikeiciancio kelio teko sustoti ilgesniam laikui. Dar du bananai ir sauja migdolu ikrito i mano skrandi. Per 20 min uzkandus ir pailsejus, atrode kad galesiu iveikti visa pakilima. Dar valanda i virsu ir as svenciau pergale. Pasirodo ivaziavau i ~700m aukscio kalna, kurio virsuje radau tai kas vadinama 'Wild wild wild nature'.

Ir vel, vertejo pasistengti 2 val kad isvystum toki grozi. Didingoje erdveje teka sraunios upes, auga tankus miskai, tolumoje iskile kalnai (1700m) snieguotomis virsunemis, vaizdai uzburia. Aciu broliui uz garso takeli is filmo "In to the wild", vaizdai primine Aliaska is filmo. 100 km matomumas, grynas oras, vesoka sustojus ir silta vaziuojant, sveika ir malonu buti tokioje aplinkoje. Zmones cia isirenge slidinejimo, dviraciu trasas, isikure kempingus, kaip supratau, propoguoja aktyvau poilsi. Papietavau ant upes kranto priesais didziuli kempinga. I skrandi ikrito keturios desreles ir 100 gr ryziu. Vaziuojant toliau siurbiau vaizdus ir gryniausia deguoni. Po valandziukes kelias pakrypo zemyn, pradejau leistis. Iki Gol'io buvo like 20 km. Si atkarpa buvo viena is maloniausiu per visa kelione. Leidziantis nedideliu greiciu, pasiekiau vieta kurioje turejo prasideti apie 10 km 5-10% nusileidimas. Cia pasikartojo panasus isgyvenimai kaip pries Bagn'a. Nusileidimas toks pat greitas tik ilgesnis. Pasiekus Gol'i, susukau pergalinga suki 'Eeehaa' ir po keletos akimirku nuleido padanga. Pirma kart po 2200 km. Nesunkiai pasikeiciau kamera ir tesiau kelione. Gol'is grazus miestelis tik laiko ji apziureti as neturejau. Prisimenu tik rodykle i Hemsedali, ten rodos uzaugo vienas is geriausiu norvegijos snieglentininku. Isvaziavus is miestelio, radau rajono dviraciu taku stenda-zemelapi. Cia atradau, kad iki Geilo 55 km galima vaziuoti 4 nr. pazymetu dviraciu taku. Pradzioje keliukas nr.4 vede palei pagrindini masinu kelia ir upe, veliau nusuko i miska. Miske vel prasidejo pakilimas. Galvojau gal pasukti atgal, gal neverta plesytis, bet smalsumas nugalejo. Misku miniau zvyrkeliu. Keliukas tai siaurejo, tai platejo, kilo ir leidosi, tolo nuo upes ir vel artejo, linksmino mane. Norejosi nusimesti daiktus ir pralekti tusciomis, bet si karta tik isivaizdavau kaip gera turetu buti...Taip keliaudamas susiradau vieta palapinei salia upes. Maudynes upeje, vakariene, dienorastis ir miegoti. Baigiu, nes jau 1:30 val.

P.S. Is siandien nuvaziuotu 6:45 val, apie 4 val kilau i kalnus. Dabar zinau ka reiskia keliauti Norvegijoje :).

Aaaa...uodai puola is visu pusiu, nespeju gintis :). Sedziu ant slaito, priesais slenis tarp kalnu, slenyje miskas, dirbamos pievos, upe Etna, keletas sodybu ir vidury slenio pakibes dumu debeselis. Kalnai apie 500-700 m. aukscio. Pakeliui i cia, kelias kilo ir leidosi, teko pakilti i keleta statesniu kalniuku, bet po menesio petraukos man tai vienas malonumas. Teko paklydineti po miska, vaziuoti zvirkeliu, be aiskiu zenklu, pasiklioviau nuojauta. Maniau, kad vel turesiu panasu nuotyki, bet viskas baigesi kuo puikiausiai. Po pasivazinejimo po miska radau nuostabu ezera prie Trevatn'o, veliau privaziavau didinga Rand-fjorda, dar veliau snioksciancia placia kalnu upe Etna. Tokios Norvegijos dar nemaciau, kuo toliau i giluma tuo idomiau darosi.
Apsistojau netoli Etnos, salia kelio, miskelyje. Beieskant vietos palapinei, radau melyniu plantacija, didesnes ir uogomis gausesnes gyvenime nesu mates. Nemeluoju, uogas saujomis raskiau, po dvi, tris ar keturias is karto :). Prisiuogaves, staciau palapine, gaminausi vakariene ir isbandziau krioklio kaskadas. Malonu panerti po kaskada krintancia is 3m aukscio. Vanduo vesokas, bet oras siltas, maudytis vienas malonumas.
Prisiminus isvykima nuo Mjoso. Daiktus buvau susidejes is vakaro, tad ryte liko tik susikrauti ant dviracio. Tetis su broliu dirbo. Issiruosiau apie 10:30. Atsisveikinau su vietiniais. Mjoso stovykloje isbuvau daugiau kaip menesi, o isvaziavus i kelia atrode, kad mano kelione tesiasi be jokiu pertrauku. Vaziuoti su kroviniu igudziai nepasimirso, labai neskubant tolau nuo stovyklos.

Prie Mjoso palikau nebaigta darba, kuri perdaviau broliui ir patogu, lengva bei idomu gyvenima. Cia buvo tikrai gera gyventi. Aplinkui supo grazi gamta, ezeras, kalnai, kasdien bendravau su artimiausiais zmonemis, turejau begale laiko mokymuisi, skaitymui, dirbau darba nejausdamas ypatingu isipareigojimu, taciau zinojau jo verte, gyvendamas cia jauciausi saugus ir ramus, jokios itampos, visiems visko uztenka, zmones sypsosi nuo smulkmenu, geranoriski ir supratingi. Buvo gaila taip anksti palikti Mjosa, turejau galimybe pabuti dar 1 men. Tikiuosi, kad tolimesneje kelioneje patirti ispudziai pranoks gera gyvenima prie Mjoso :).

2009.07.21. One month in Norway. Brothers arriving.

Location: Camp by Mjosa lake

Impressions
One month ago after three weeks bicycle ride through Baltic and Scandinavian countries i came to Norway by Mjosa lake to my fathers camp. One month has ran like one week. Time is runing very fast here. In one month:
- i had a one week rest after first trip stage around Europe
- at the end of first week i found a job
- two weeks worked by house, did wall grinding.
- fourth week i had a few days rest and started to paint the house.
In one month my beard became longer :) and my english - better, i made some acquaintance with locals and better acquaintance with my father, i caugth 4 kg of fish and picked up a half litre of strawberries, i made 250 km on bicycle and 30 km on foot, i ate 50 nettle leaves and 30 norwegian shrimps :), i saw 18 beautifull sunsets and 3 sunrises, i reached the nearest mountain peak and my goal in Norway. The time that i spent here was a pithy enough. A big thanks for that to my father, Juozas, Staale, Swein and his wife, to girl in Viken II which has told to me where to find an internet, to girls that are working in Lena library and for those people who are following by me through my blogger.
Today my brother Tomas arrived to camp. It was pleasure to meet him. He did a little surprise because he came so fast. He spent only 6 hours to come here from Lithuania. I spent 21 days, maybe my brother is smarter :). In the other hand he spent 400 lt per 6 hours and i - only 1200 lt per 21 days. Ok, the goals and possibilities are different, everyone choose their best ways :).
Tomas have brought things to me that i was requested. From today my bicycle trip will be more comfortable :), i have got mp3 player and a few additional clothes from rain...yahooo!
In the evening we have introduced Tomas to Staale and Swein. Two employers had opportunity to see a new worker. Tomas needs money. He is starting from tomorrow :).

P.S. Father and his two sons are together again.

2009.07.18. House painting

Location: Norway, camping by Mjosa lake

Today i have started to paint the house. This job is more easier and i have more pleasure to do it. Its incredible that you can start and finish to work at any time you want, you don't need be in a hurry, payment is high and relation with owner is good enough. I hope that i will have a time and good air conditions to cover all walls with one paint layer in next week (it must be two or three layers). All the rest job will do my brother.


2009.07.17. Lena, strawberries and tasty supper

Location: Norway, Lena and camping by Mjosa lake

Impressions
It was shiny today. I was in Lena for a fifth time. Its a small town distance 17 km from our camp. It has library, a good vine shop, the cheap goods shop 'Europrise', the shop like in Sweden where you can find a lot of consumer goods 'Jarvek...', a two sport shops, bank and a many black-skinned imigrants.
In library i have already been for fifth time, here i get a free internet. I feel like a local here :). I remembered studies in KTU and VGTU universities and how much time i spent in libraries :). Ohhh...this place for me is like a church :), here i find silence, good atmosphere, calm people, good books and free access to internet :). A few time i was in small vine shop for a vine (a gift) to Swein and Staale (fathers employer). Here, dry french 2007 vine costs about 50 lt, its expensive but there is no other choises. Remarkable thing is that almost all people that i have met there were with a smile in a face. Today i found out that i can't open my own bank account without "D number" :( in norwegian bank.
The bicycle road from Lena to our camp goes along main road. The half part of the road is surrounded by farming fields and other half part - by mountains from one side and Mjosa lake from other, it never be boring to go through , its so beautiful. In a halfway i stoped in forest to look for some wild berries. It was surprise for me when i found a wild strawberries. I picked up a half of littre per 1 hour. It was some kind of training for grape picking in France :). Everyone must to feel that fantastic feelings when you are in the mountains in the forest, picking up berries, breathing fresh air, hearing how the river stream goes down. Its a real wild feelings.

After i came back home, i met Swein, the norwegian supper was preparing. After 1 hour, i with my father were siting in Swein cottages yard by big plate of shrimps :). Swein with his wife have prepared the simpliest but tasty dish: boiled shrimps, 'bagette', butter, special sauce and vine. It was nice. Supper dragged on till 00:30. We had an interesting conversation and a good time. Talk was about Lithuania and Norway, imigrants and locals, their and our families, skiing and fishing, NLP and bussines. My farther knows only german language, and we were talking almost all the time in english, so he had a lot time for eating :). Later in that evening we moved into the house, which i was grinding from outside. Here we had a dessert - raspberries with sugar. I showed the pictures from my trip, Swein gave some advices for futher bike route through Norway and talked about some of the most beautifull places in Norway. So, after long supper and talking we were satisfied about everything and it was time to say good night.


2009.07.15. First earning in cash
Location: Norway, camping by Mjosa lake

Impressions
Che, che...i have got my first earning in foreign country. I have earned money for next two month trip to France... or further...Portugal.
It was quite hard and too easy to earn so much money...quite hard because work must be done in difficult conditions and too easy because it was done only in 13 days. It's unreal for me at this moment that i will be able to continue my trip. Good people helps me.
In friday i will have a supper with Swein and his wife, they gave me invitation. Swein is very tactful man, he like to talk a lot but he do what he promised. He brought me a paint and other stuf for house painting, he found the nearest downhill bike tracks (we had a talk about it), he payed money without any additional asks. He is a good man, and salesman :). I am glad to meet him.

Daily life by Mjosa lake

2009.07.14. Relaxation in Norway
Location: Norway, camping by Mjosa lake

Impressions
Eehaaa...i have finished my job :)! I spent 100 hours or 13 days for it. I did it :).
The house looks like new. Walls are clean...pure wooden walls without paint and impregnation. It needs colour. House owner, Swein, have already offered me to paint the house. I have accepted his offer. If it will stops raining i will do painting. After the hottest two weeks, the wet week came. All week for half a day was raining, today, for example, it was raining for 8 time till 5 p.m. Sun is shining after rain, but not for long :).
I suppose that i have got Swein confidence for high quality grinding outcomes :). I am content with grinding outcomes. On other hand Swein is content with my working style and price. Money is not the most important thing, opportunity to realise myself for others wealth is the most important. I have found some more options in my abilities, that's fantastic :). The core of man's spirit comes from new expierence!!! That's right.
Bad thing is when people doesn't know what they know or they are affraid to try new things. It must be as a rule to change occupation every 5 years or to have a gap year or two years in career seeking. Bad thing is when people is doing a job under compulsion or only for money. Job must be like interesting activity, it must be so kind like playing table football or computer games :). Every activity must be orientated to the goal - to reach absolutely happiness. I have a wish.. in the future i would like to try jobs that are interesting to me, not to do it for my career or money, but to do it for fun...grape or kiwi picker, barman, stage assistant, bus driver :)... cook, ski instructor, resort manager, chalet chef and others. Some of them are temporary and others are permanent. So i have already had the plan. I started to do it. Let's do together :)...do you have a plan?
I am leaving Mjosa camp on July 23. My brother is planing to come here on July 21 by plane. I had requested some additional things from Lithuania, so i am waiting for parcel. I waiting for shoes covers from rain (only the shop 'Geras dviratis' has it for my shoes), a few books, mp3 player, additional rain jacket, a few spare parts for my bike. I am impatiently waiting for The second stage of my travel around Europe.

P.S. I am writing in english because i am learning english :). It's good oportunity to learn a new words and formulate sentences. Sorry, if it is difficult to you read my strange english text :).

2009.07.09. Tiredness, sadness and hopfulness in Norway
Location: Norway, camping by Mjosa lake

-In the morining, before start to work-

I worked for 8 hour's yesterday. It was raining almost all the day, but i had a roof above. It was quite comfortable to work in that conditions.
I have been working for 10 days. In the begining it was fun and easy, now it is sad and hard. There is something that takes all energy from me in this job. I have lost liveliness, my days became black/white, daily routine is pushing me to dejection. The job is very hard actualy, it's like a coal mining :), one difference is that wall grinding i do outside. All day i wear mask and glasses from dust, ear-flaps from noise, cap from sun. All day long i listen a big noise of grind tool (in spite i am wearing a earflaps), often some wood's and paint's dust gets into my eyes, nose and mouth (in spite i am wearing mask and glasses). All day long i hold grind tool vibration of which pierse through all my body, from arms to head, from head to heart.....aaaaaa... Daily monotony and physical tiredness is killing me. I thougt that i am strong, but i was mistaken. That is ridiculous, I am able to ride 2000 km by bicycle in 21 day without any bigger physical suffering, but i am unable to work wall grinder job for 10 days without suffering. I have everything that i need to do this job except physical power. If physical power comes from my mind, does it mean that i don't like this job?
...?

-In the evening after job was done-

Everything ok, i am alive :). I have started to work at 13:00 h. I had a good rest and enough food till afternoon. I have worked only 6 hours and my mood was good all day. This is it !!! I need more to rest and have good food. Everything is possible, only must to know and feel what does your body wants. Actualy not body but your mind.
Tomorrow i will finish to grind the last house wall. Tomorrow there will be finish.

Norvegai sako, kad tokios karstos vasaros nebuvo 60 metu. Dienos metu istisas dvi savaites, nuo mano atvaziavimo, oras pavesyje isildavo iki +30. Dirbau diena pries saule, prakaitas upeliais tekejo, atviroj vietoj temperatura siekdavo +50. Ezero vanduo pavirsiuje isilo iki +25, norint atsigaivinti reikejo nerti giliau, ten saltesnis. Vakarais oras atvesdavo iki +22. Visa diena su sortais, T-shirt ir sandalais, nuo ryto iki vakaro. Tikrai nesitikejau tokio kurortinio oro Norgej, salyje kuri taip nutolusi i siaure. Dziaugiuos, kad taip pasiseke, laiku atvaziavau, dabar reikia laiku isvaziuot.
Siandien pirma diena po dvieju savaiciu rytas apsiniaukes, vejuota, oras +18, vanduo per nakti atsalo iki +15. Pirma karta lijo. Pasak vietiniu tai tipiskas norvegiskas oras. Saltis primine kelione iki norvegijos, kai kas trecia diena gaudavau lietaus, rytais ir vakarais stipriai atvesdavo, o vanduo ezeruose ir upese buvo < +15. Vesesnis oras palankesnis keliauti, noreciau tokio po poros savaiciu.
Artimiausias planas. Po poros savaiciu sulaukti sveciu is LT (atvyks mama su broliu) , pabaigti slifavimo darbus (norvegas dave daugiau darbo, uztruksiu dar savaite), pasitikslinti marsruta ir liepos pabaigoje pratesti Yogaracer odiseja per Europa :). Pagyvenus Norgej pamaciau, kad ir cia galima pigiai maitintis, ryziai, makaronai, dribsniai, uogiene, bananai pigesni nei LT :). Planuoju vaziuoti iki norvegijos fjordu, prasuksiu pro Stavanger'i, uztruksiu Norgej dar savaite. Is Kristiansand'o kelsiuos i Hirtshals (DK). Praleisiu Osla ir Kopenhaga, uzsuksiu i siuos dydmiescius veliau. Pervaziaves Danija ir dali Vokietijos, trauksiu link Amsterdamo. Veliau keliausiu i Belgija. Toliau kirsiu Prancuzijos siena. Labai noriu i Paryziu :), butinai ji aplankysiu, gal susitiksiu naujus draugus paryziecius. Nuo Paryziaus vaziuosiu paciu graziausiu dviraciu keliu link Lyon'o (reikes jo paieskoti). Vaziuosiu neskubedamas, stebesiu kaip prancuzai gyvena, noriu apie juos zinoti kuo daugiau.
Gal kas nors noretu ir galetu prie manes prisijungti nuo danijos ar Kiel'io (GER), galetume kartu pasivazineti po beneliukso salis, Prancuzija? Butu smagu pakeliauti kompanijoje.
Kaifas :), sedziu siltai kemperyje ir rasineju, veliau pratesiu Tolstojaus "Family hapyness" skaityma, reikia tobulinti anglisku sakiniu formavimo igudzius.
Siandien po triju metu pertraukos vel vaiksciojau po kalnus. Uzlipau i salIa esancio kalno virsukalne (~700 m virs juros). Virsuje mane pasitiko debesis, tad didingos ezero panoramos nepamaciau. Kopimas i viena puse uztruko 2 val. Griztant atgal prisiminiau ankstesnius zygius i kalnus. Pirmasis ir ispudingiausias naujais pojuciais buvo 1997 m. 3 dienu zygis po Slovakijos Aukstuosius Tatrus. Viskas nauja, nepatirta ir nematyta, tais metais susirgau kalnu liga :). Antraisiais metais dvi dienas lengvai pasivaiksciojau po zemuosius Tatrus, ikopiau i pirmaja virsune - Dumbier -2025m, po to 2 dienas kopinejome Aukstuosiuose, cia padariau Rysy virsune - 2450m. Pradejau skinti virsunes, delioti kryzelius. Po triju metu pertraukos 2001 vel grizau i Tatrus. Susiorganizavome ekonomini, bet labai idomu ir sudetinga zygi po SLO ir POL aukstuosius Tatrus. 4 dienas nenusileidome i kempinga, lipau iki tol staciausiomis sienomis, ejome vien kalnu takais. Pamenu kai ketvirta diena buciavau asfalta :). Sekanciais, vasara dirbau Slovakijos Aukst. Tatruose su vaikais, kiekviena diena vaiksciojau po kalnus, mokiau vaikus gerbti gamta ir grozetis kalnais. Menesi gyvenau kalnuose, rojus. Ta pacia vasara susipazinau su Slovenijos Julianinem alpem bei Italijos dolomitais. Beveik savaite laiko su labai linksma kompanija praleidau kalnuose. Sudetingi zygiai, patirti didziausi isbandymai, pasiektas didziausias aukstis (iki Civetos ~ 3000m buvo like 30m.), graziausi iki to matyti kalnai, fantastiskas laikas. Dar kitais metais vel keletas savaiciu darbo su vaikais Slovakijoje, praleistas puikus laikas kalnuose. Pries keturis metusturejau, paskutini pries ilgaja pertrauka, penkiu dienu zygi i Slovenijos alpes. Sturmavome ausciausia Slovenijos Triglavo virsune (~2750m). Po tiek zygiu, iskaitant jau daugiau kaip 10 metu be pertrauku kiekvienais metais slidinejant kalnuose, tapau nepagydomu ligoniu. Sugalvojau nauja sios keliones pavadinima - "In to the mountains". Realiai, kelione dviraciu aplink Europa yra tik pretekstas pasiekti kalnus :). Viskas ka dariau ruosdamasis kelionei ir keliones metu yra nukreipta i viena tiksla - vel atsidurti kalnuose :).

Darbas ir Norvegijoj darbas

Jau penkta diena issijuoses dirbu. Paskutines dvi nebeissimiegu ir nebepailsiu. Lengviau nuvaziuoti 200 km nei 9 val bruzinti namo siena. Jokiu nauju ispudziu, potyriu, pojuciu...:(
Liko nudrozt daugiau kaip puse namo, tikiuosi kita savaite baigti. Uz nudrozima gausiu visai solidzia suma, kas siek tiek guodzia siuo metu. Noretusi susitarti del dazymo darbu, bet teks palaukti slifavimo pabaigos, norvegas neapsisprendes.
Vakar isisnekejom su norvegu apie jo bizni, suzavejo parduodamu produktu...prachekinsim galimybes Lietuvoje ir jei nepasitvirtins atskleisiu kuo taip mane suzavejo :). Pasiule pagalba vystant bizni lietuvoje gal juokais o gal ir rimtai, as tai priemiau kaip rimta verslo ideja. Vienas is sios keliones tikslu yra parsivezti keleta verslo ideju jei visam laikui neuzsibusiu kokioj Prancuzijoj. Na is tikruju tai jei ne pats gal draugai nores gera ideja isvystyt, butu malonu padeti.
Ok, einu toliau dirbti...

P.S. posta parasiau sededamas lauke ant ezero kranto pasiskolines kaimyno laptopa. Padirbesiu dar pusvalanduka, issimaudysiu ezere ir siandienai ispudziu uzteks :).
