A Scenic Drive
Saturday, June 28, 2008 3:36:18 PM
A long-awaited blog posting to update those in the States on our adventure today--yes, the dreaded scenic drive. We left bright and early at 0715, racing to the Lauvik ferry (making it with 3 minutes to spare), crossed to the eastern side, drove by Tau, up to another short ferry, then on to Roldal, where we rejoined E-134 for a while until we headed north again to Odda. Along the way we ran into a beautiful water fall (Latefossen), then turned around and came back via E-134 to the ferry at Arsvagen and back to Stavanger. Another beautiful water fall off of E-134 (Langfossen). About 4.5 hours up and 3.5 back (better and more direct road). We skirted the southern and eastern sides of one of the Norwegian National Parks (Folgefonna) with a glacier--quite a bit of snow still visible way up there. Weather was good, company was fine--even had a roadside picnic lunch. A couple of pictures loaded into the blog pictures section for your viewing pleasure. All for now. This one came out very nicely.
And this one was the beautiful waterfall with Rebecca.
