Fjords of Norway

We decided to be risk takers and hire a car for 1day so we could drive around some of the fjords near Bergen. We did about 450km and we were out from 10am to 10pm (the days are long and great for sightseeing).

Of course, there was no automatic car available, so Penny had to reacquaint herself with a manual, steering wheel on the left, shift on the right, and drive on the right-hand side of the road - we both survived. It was totally worth it as you'll see from these photos....

The 'Snow Road' - a winding, mainly 1 lane road (which they don't tell you in the brochures). Bit freaky for the driver & passenger alike.

Stegastein Viewing Platform - with glass at the end so it feels like there's nothing between you, the view, and the drop down to the water below.

Above the snow line. Not much snow at the moment, but a great landscape. Many cairns put up by hikers.

Our trusty Volvo in a perfect car advertisement setting.

The Laerdal Tunnel - 24.5 km. The longest tunnel in the world. Amazing engineering & cool blue lights every once in a while to keep you awake.

The trip back to Bergen.
