North into Vestland

We headed further north into Vestland which is the main Fjords area, via main and side roads and lots of long tunnels. One even had a roundabout in the middle!

Roundabout in the tunnel!

Another Stave Church at Rodal. There were 1300 Stave churches in Norway - now 28 are left and preserved. Stave refers to the way they are constructed.

The impressive Latefossen waterfall

A lovely picnic spot

Muy on the ferry from Utne to Kvanndal

Purdy in her favourite spot!

We stopped at Myrkdalen Hotel, a ski resort, and were allowed to stay in their large carpark for free so we splashed out on a meal in their restaurant - we were a bit under dressed!

Tasty spare ribs for Phil

We carried on over a beautiful mountain pass and then descended to Vik. We were intending to travel further but it looked such a nice little fjord town that we decided to stay for a few days in their local campsite.

So many waterfalls!

An early morning cuppa with a lovely view at
Vik after travelling over the high, snowy pass

She is nice and toasty!

Purdy's special dog sleeping bag is made in
Norway, very well designed for this climate

 

Our pitch at the campsite

We have noticed the town has fantastic
sports facilities including this athletics stadium

VERY hard core public exercise area!

Another Stave Church in Vik

Purdy was paddling just downstream from here!

The fast ferry to Bergen and Flam

Yes that feels great thank you!

A steep hike to a viewpoint overlooking Vik with a swing on the way that Dee decided to try out.

It started so well, then...

Nearly ended in disaster!

Our picnic dinner at about 8pm, it wasn't
raining but we had a light shower on the way

Another beautiful stop on a hike for a picnic dinner below! This photo was taken at 1920 in the evening - it just never seems like evening here! Our campsite is top left hand side of the town.
