Bergen to Fagernes

Today was a magical day, although a little wet at times, nothing dampened our total Wow will you look at that!!! moments.

This is a winter playground for skiing. Along the way we passed through the longest tunnel in the world, 25kms in length. Each 6 kms there is a widened area for turning, together with a coloured light show, used to stimulate the driver from the dull colour of the tunnel.
