After the scenic route it was on to where I had planned to spend the night. We had to take a small car ferry first (the first photo is them crossing when we got to the dock, the third is almost docked on the other side!) the ferry was so quiet I didn’t realize it was moving until we were almost to the other side! I had been looking up a few things so wasn’t paying attention and sudden we were there! That was fun.

On the other side we were driving through more gorgeous fjords and we were almost to the tunnel which would lead to where I had planned to spend the night when there was a sign for a viewpoint for Bøyabreen (Bøya Glacier) which we could see from the road and I was like yes! I want to go spy on that! So we drove down and there is a great parking spot with amazing views of the glacier and surrounded by giant rocky mountains so we decided to spend the night here! Again not where I had planned, but this was too gorgeous! There is a small path down to the glacier lake where we ate dinner and it was so nice. You can hear all the waterfalls and the sign if you are lucky you will see ice pieces in the lake - and we did! It got cold so we went back to the van for some tea and we heard a loud noise and Raymond said maybe some ice fell. Well we went back down and at the mouth of the lower River outlet there was way more ice on the ground! You couldn’t really see the River anymore so that was fun. We had bundled up so we sat and enjoyed the view until it got cold and dark and headed back to the van.

Today was an amazing day. Lots of driving, but so gorgeous!! I loved it! And it was so quick and easy to get here we will definitely be back for a southern Norway adventure to explore these areas more! I told Raymond this was already an amazing trip and it is only day 2 in Norway and he was like it has been more than 2 days! I was like no…today is Saturday. We got here yesterday afternoon and he was just like it is only Saturday?!? Then we were discussing everything we did and I said about how we walked through town this morning and was like what town? That was this morning?? So we did so much Raymond though it was more than one day! But really really amazing. Tomorrow evening it is supposed to rain lots so we shall see. So far it has been sunny and perfect!Leia mais
