We ate breakfast at our hotel. It included homemade croissants and fresh baked bread. Delicious!
 |
| Another nice view from our room although quite different than the day before. Feels a bit trolsk to me. |
 |
| Driving through a tunnel. We drove through a lot of tunnels in Norway! |
 |
| Partially frozen lake. The ice patterns were really pretty. |

| U, Me, Matthew, Megan on our summer vacation in Norway. It was about 0 Celsius and there were some flakes of snow that fell. |

 |
| So many waterfalls! |

It was a bit alarming to get this message especially since the only part we could read was "Immediate Danger."
|
 |
| Thankfully the English version came through right after and we discovered it was only a test. (In the meantime, we had been using google translate to translate the Norwegian.) |
Next up was the Ørnesvingen Viewpoint. It is located on the opposite side of Geirangerfjord and gives a different perspective.

 |
| We could see the Seven Sisters Waterfall. |
U and Me walked a short distance up a dirt trail and were afforded this view.
 |
| Me showing how windy it was. |
 |
| A local artist created this with the help of school children. |
We took a cruise on Geirangerfjord which U and Me were super excited about.
 |
| Matthew and Megan stayed in the lounge. |
 |
| U and Me mostly stayed on the deck. It was a bit windy and even rained a little. |
The cruise was scenic with lots of waterfalls!

| The Suitor Waterfall |
 |
| We learned that people used to farm down by the water as well as up on the ledges. It is really incredible they could do that. They would have to put young children on leashes so they wouldn't accidentally fall over the edge! |
 |
| Close up of a farm. |
We drove to Sæbø via FV655 which was super scenic!
 |
| We had to go through a number of these tunnels which looked a little suspect/ghetto. Especially since it was just our side of the road that went through them?!? |
 |
| An even smaller 2 lane road.... |
 |
| Taking the ferry across the fjord. Although the GPS shows us floating in the middle of the fjord. |
We stayed in two connected cabins in Sæbø. We could have fit in the four person cabin but it was not much more to rent both. Plus the three person cabin came with a toilet and a living area which was nice.
 |
| Matthew and Megan in the living area. |

We got settled, ate dinner and played Matchmaker.
