Looking good
Ace 👍
 
Like it already so keep us posted. How long you going for and do you have a "final" destination of just going to wander about ?
 
Ferry from Hirshals.
Stayed in a b&b booking Hirtshals
Highly recommended quality accommodation and value for money.
Day started off sunny landed in Kristiansand to torrential rain .
Destination Telemark motel .
Visor steamed up /glasses too.
My buddy had anti -fog wipes for my glasses and inside visor worked a treat .
Never had any problems 👌.
Sticking to the speed limits was a must .
Fines are to heavy for my means
Cars backing up behind us ,we let them thru they didn't hang about either .kind of thought they knew the roads for speed traps etc 🤔 . Tailed onto the back of them 😀.
We got to our motel which was about 55 pounds a head .
Cranked up the heaters to dry our stuff.
The owner made our meals and breakfast at a extra cost .

Started off in Fjaera
Absolute peach of a day 19° and 🌞
Headed along towards Vidfossen waterfalls very impressive > then onto Odda . New Stave church built here .
Next up Laerdal str onto the Aurslandfjellet mountain pass. If the single track wasn't big enough freckin coaches and camper vans. We eventually made to the view point and then over the mountain pass.
Few pics on the road. Final destination was Sogndal for the night Booking.com.

Left Sogndal cracking day highs of 19°.
Onto the F55 to Skjolden .
Str onto the Sognefjellsvegen mountain.
Why they let Coaches on single track with hairpin bends is beyond me , struggled to get passed buses/ campervans coming from the op direction.
On top it quickly turned to +9°
Glaciers in the background ,seen USA ski team buses and a helicopter flying luggage about.
Coming back down we stayed in Hjelledalen huts . Excellent value £30 per head . Picked supplies for breakfast at the local coop.
