Wednesday, August 20'th
Anorther day of transportation.
It's a nice trip - eventhought it's raining again. First another trip on
the Geiranger-Fiord by boat
to Hellesylt. Then bus
to Strun and another bus to Sogndal
Sogndal
is a cozy little town, with a reputation for a decent soccer-team. I
check-in at Loftesnes
Pensjonat - a nice little place, with a pretty weird hostess.

Torsdag den 21. august

Raining cats and dogs once
again. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do - so I put on my
raingear - and take my umbrella on the bus to Kaupanger. It's a short 15
min. busride out there. I jump off the bus at the local mall - which is
nothing more than a supemarket, a hairdresser and a sunbed. Then I walk
down the hill to the harbour. I pass Kaupanger
Church - an old stave church from the 11. century.
Actually my plans was then to take the bus
uphill again, but the bus only leaves from the harbour on sundays, and
that's too long to wait. So I have to walk the 3 km uphill - not as nice
as downhill.
Later that day another walk
around Sogndal. Nice town - no tourists like in Geiranger. But the weather
is still awfull. |
Friday, August 22'nd
| Exit Sogndal and bus to Flåm. This trip passes the
longest tunnel in the world. That is between Lærdal and Auerland and it's 24,5
km long. You can hardly describe Flåm as
a town - it's more like a servicecenter for tourist, that arrive by the
famous railwai Flåmsbana or by boat through the fiords. The town is
nicely places inside the Aurlandsfiord. It's still raining here, but in a
way it make the area even more spectacular. And a very nice rainbow is
hanging from one side of the fiord to the other.
Flåm overnatting
is not the most luxerious place I have been to - but it's cheap. Most of
the other people staying here are actually workers on nightshift for
cleaning up the mess in the area that was made by the awful weather last
week. |

Saturday, August 23'rd
 |
Weather has cleared up. A nice day for a trip on the Auerlandsfiord and
Nærøyfiord to Gudvangen. Very nice area and plenty of waterfalls. One of
the is Kjelsfossen - 840 m. high. Should be the 4'th tallest in the world,
but not counted as such. It doesn't qualify bacause it falls in more than
one step.
The rest of the day I stroll around Flåm - among
other into the valley, where there in fact is a small town with real people
living there. |
