May 15, 2025,Bis Lillesand und wieder rückwärts

Day 9 of the tour:
Today, less sea, but more hiking. After an initial exploration of the area, I pass the old railway line between Lillesand and Birkenland, which I quickly follow.
In Lillesand, I return to my "time millionaire" mindset and head for an offshore island to find my place to sleep.
