Kystriksveien

„take the long road home“ was the motto of the day as we left the lemming tourists on the E6 and took the Lv17 down the coast instead. The Kystveien is one of the eight national „tourist scenic roads“ as defined by the Norwegians.
This is probably our third or fourth time on such a road and we were not disappointed. It included majestic drives alongside Fjords, view of several glaciers and two ferry rides.
You do have to bring a bit of time, especially in the off season the longer ferry routes don’t run as often… but if Norway has done one thing for us it is to slow down and just take it ferry by ferry, day by day. 😁
For the night we stayed at a proper campsite „Polar Camp“ with electricity for once! Only to almost be blown off by the winds and rain. No chance to catch a glimpse of any stars or Aurora… The Norwegian weather we had heard off seems to have caught up with us.
Not that bad, we have a big leg of driving ahead of us tomorrow to Trondheim. This means we are definitely leaving the arctic circle and heading South in big steps again.Read more
