    Lol! This tracks and I kind of love it. My partner and I spent a few weeks in the summer of 2018 back packing around their amazing hut system. We spanned about 3 regions during the trip and would usually drive 5-10 hours between each region we were packing in. Before going I was soooooo excited for that part, just to see the amazing diversity and insane fjords. Turns out nearly all their highways are in tunnels. I'm not talking like, "oh there is a freeway overpass", I mean "wait, have we already been in this tunnel for an hour?!?!" It was completely unexpected. Glad to hear bikes are getting in on the action too.
