Norway in a Nutshell - Part 4

Road Trip

Four gas station hot dogs and cokes which leave the body starving for real nutrition: $60. Filling the 12 gallon tank of our VW Polo for a 12 hour round trip driving tour: $144. One day supply of the world's best chocolate: $50. Marveling at the unrivaled beauty of Norway with really good company: PRICELESS.


Leaving from Bergen on our 1 day, marathon road trip.


We counted every tunnel we passed through, some several miles long. We didn't pass through one tunnel twice and our tally for the day was 62!

Coming down out of the mountains to this breathtaking view. We couldn't capture the scene in it's entirety with a camera, but from our view to the right there was a beautiful waterfall, and to the left of the valley a large cliff with another, smaller waterfall.


Once we dropped into the valley, the view looking back from where we came.


And we were warmly greeted!

Debbie started it with the crackers!

They looooved her!

Debbie found her new calling in life as The Goat Whisperer

mwah, cute!


We stopped in this little town to do some bike riding and enjoy it's wonderful energy.

I was so happy to get my legs moving!


The following pics are all scenes from our bike ride....


We road through town along the fjord.









Back in the car and enjoying some chocolate.


Fairies and tunnels are necessary for getting around this water locked country.
