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.
