Our destination for the long day of travelling and sightseeing was Geiranger, at the bottom of the Geiranger fjord. The road leading down to the fjord was a bit steep and full of turns, but not as much as Trollstigen that we had been driving earlier in the day. And this had a good view… Continue reading Geiranger

Valldal
On our drive we made a stop in the charming village of Valldal. The village is most known in Norway for being “the strawberry village”. The valley has very good growth condition for fruits ans berries. It was not strawberry season when we were there, but we could see all the fields where they grow… Continue reading Valldal

It is part of Norwegian County Road 63 that connects the town of Åndalsnes in Rauma and the village of Valldal in Norddal Municipality. It… Continue reading Trollstigen
Romsdalsgondolen
In Åndalsnes we got the new gondola up to the top of the mountain. It opened this year on the 28th of may. It was really great both going up and down and soaking in the views at the top.

Kristiansund
When we were staying in Molde we took a day trip up to the town of Kristiansund. This was the furthest north we went on this trip. But this does not mean we were even close to the middle of Norway. The town, formerly spelled Christianssund, was named after the Danish-Norwegian King Christian VI in 1742. The last element of… Continue reading Kristiansund
Molde
From Ålesund we drove to Molde, where we stayed two nights at hotel Seilet, the sail. The weather was not the best so we did not get to enjoy our view as much as we wanted. Molde is called the city of roses and is famous in Norway for it’s jazz festival and football team.… Continue reading Molde
Ålesund
After we had finished our visit to Loen, we got back in the car to drive to a town called Ålesund. Where we spent the night at a nice hotel, that gave us a large room. We wandered around town and had some really good fish and chips and stopped by an irish pub for… Continue reading Ålesund
