Amazing Norway - day 3

Day 3 of our journey went from Geiranger to Kristiansund. This was the view from our hotel room at Hotel utsikten.


Viewpoint at "Ørnesvingen" gives an amazing view of the Geirangerfjord. 


The viewpoint at Ørnesvingen


Gudbrandsjuvet


On our way to "Trollstigen" with lots of amazing scenery. 


From this point you can look down to the valley where Trollstigen is located. As you can see it was filled with fog. 


When we got down to the parking lot we decided to give it a chance, and see if the fog would ease. Just a couple of minutes after this photo the fog was everywhere and we could not see much so we went in to the cafe area to wait some more. 


About 15 minutes later the fog was nearly gone. I just love the architecture of the cafe and surrounding facilities at the viewpoint. 


I visited Trollstigen in 2009, and at that time there were no viewpoint like today, so this new location gave me a whole different and an amazing perspective of this special road. 





I love the materials used in these constructions due to their discretion in nature. 



The fog was a bit on and off, and it was fascinating to watch the development. 





From Trollstigen we went down to Åndalsnes. 


Then we finally made it to Atlanterhavsvegen. I have dreamt of driving this road along the Atlantic ocean. 





From Atlanterhavsvegen we went to Kristiansund and spent a night here at a Thon hotel.

Søndagstur til Grovannet

Bilde
I dag var jeg og ei venninne på tur til Grovannet og rundt i området. Vi gikk med utgangspunkt i Grostøl. Keila er nybadet i en liten bekk. Hun var så nysgjerrig på isen på vannet at hun plutselig var langt nedi bekken og snuste før hun duppa nedi.  Nyter høstfargene og været utover et lite tjern Fin vei å gå på fra Grostøl og innover mot Grovannet.  Kakao og lefser med sukker og kanel smakte godt på turen.  Hva? Jeg har vel ikke vært en tur nedi gjørma og griset til labbene???  Speiling fra en annen vinkel. Fantasien står fritt.  Sjeldent jeg legger ut bilder av meg selv. Her begynner Keila å bli sliten etter ca 4,5-5 km Så da fikk hun haik et stykke oppi sekken, og trivdes godt der et par km.  Nå er jeg snart oppladet og klar for litt mer løping.  Deler av stien var barnevandrerstien som går fra Kvinesdal til Grimstad.

Amazing roadtrip on the Brokke - Suleskard road

Bilde
On the 31st of May we had an amazing drive from Flekkefjord to Kristiansand via the road from Suleskard to Brokke. This is a winter closed road, and it opens the last weekend of May. We drove here just a few days after the opening, and the amount of snow in the mountains were stunning! I can recommend this route through this amazing landscape in south of Norway. Driving from spring to winter in a couple of hours  Photo taken from the ascent of the road looking towards south-west My husband standing next to huge amounts of snow I can barely reach half of this edge We tried to drive up to the Roskrepp dam, but the road was so narrow here that we had to drive back in reverse.  The highest of the snow edge was probably this one which is about 9-10 meters tall.  Descent towards Brokke Just a couple of days later the road had to close again for a couple of days due to more snow, and they couldn´t keep it open.  B
