Ålesund, Norway

What we did:
Flew into Alesund to start our Norwegian road trip! Pilot announced there was an “issue” with our plane and we’d be diverted to Trondheim. He later came on to tell us that we were good and landed in Alesund correctly. However, they grounded the plane the rest the day...

Places we visited:
- Kiwi supermarket to stock up on road trip essentials
- Hung in the Airbnb enjoying the view of the Fjord as it was pouring

Food:
- Zumma sushi (our first taste of Norwegian salmon) since Ålesund is the biggest fishing hub in Norway.

Fun facts:
- Landed and discovered that we had traveled to Norway during the biggest storm they’ve had in 25 years named Hans (yay for us)! We then debated pulling an audible and heading to a southern country to get out of the rain. Flights from Alesund to Greece may allegedly have been looked at.Read more
