E-Biking in Senja 塞尼亚岛上骑电车
July 10, 2026
After leaving Ny-Ålesund, we spent the next 48 hours sailing through rough seas. Despite the conditions, we found time to relax in the ship’s dry sauna, where large windows offered wonderful views of sailing. Along the way, the ship made a two-hour stop in Tromsø to load and unload cargo.
We then arrived in Torsken on Senja Island, where our ship stayed from 6:00 p.m. until midnight. Torsken is a small fishing village, though during the summer, tourism now appears to be an important part of the local economy.
I joined a three-hour e-bike tour that took us over two mountain passes, to a beautiful white-sand beach, through an underwater tunnel, and into another small village. Our Australian fellow passengers joked that the beach looked more like one of Australia's black-sand beaches than a white-sand beach. However, the scenery was spectacular. Along one stretch of road, we even passed beneath steep cliffs where falling boulders are a real hazard.
We cycled approximately 25 kilometers, making plenty of photo stops along the way. On some downhill sections, our speed reached as high as 40 kilometers per hour. I don't remember ever riding a bicycle that fast before. It was both exhilarating and a little intimidating. The tour was pleasant, exciting, and thoroughly enjoyable, and I would gladly do it again.
At the end of the tour, Peimin was waiting for me at the bike shop. We then went to the bar next door and celebrated with a 0.0% alcohol-free beer. About 30 minutes before midnight, we returned to the ship. As we sailed away from Torsken, low clouds began to roll in, gradually wrapping the surrounding mountains in mist.

经过48小时的风浪航行后，我们终于抵达塞尼亚岛（Senja）的托尔斯肯（Torsken）。邮轮从傍晚6点停靠到午夜12点。托尔斯肯是一个小渔村，不过到了夏季，旅游业已经成为当地最主要的产业之一。
佩民自己下船自由行，在小鱼村里走走看看。我参加了一个为时三小时的电动自行车之旅。骑行路线翻越了两座山岭，来到一片白沙滩，穿过一条海底隧道，又经过另一个小村庄。同行的几位澳大利亚游客打趣说，这片所谓的白沙滩，看起来更像澳大利亚的黑沙滩。不过，无论沙滩是什么颜色，这一路的风景都十分壮丽。途中还有一段依山而建的公路，路旁散落着许多巨大的落石，汽车不准许通行但让骑行更添几分刺激。
全程约25公里，沿途设有许多拍照停留点。在几段下坡路上，我们的最高时速达到了每小时40公里，也不知道码表是否准确。我不记得自己以前曾骑自行车骑得这么快过。当时既觉得兴奋，又有一点紧张，但电动自行车骑起来十分轻松，也让我尽情享受了速度带来的乐趣。这趟骑行既愉快又刺激，如果有机会，我一定还会再参加一次。
骑行结束时，佩民已经在自行车店等我。随后，我们与同行的车友们一起到隔壁的小酒吧，为这次精彩的骑行喝上一杯，庆祝一下。
