Bergen to Vaerlandet
The light train stop where we caught our train this morning...off to the airport to pick up our car...the huge building on the other side of the road is the central train station.
I took a few photos on the way....in the suburbs...Norway, like Denmark seems to have very good architects as all their modern buildings are unique and interesting.
There were many apartments but also some rather old houses like these.
Bergen airport....
Our rental car is an electric Toyota BZX which is an SUV. And it only has 3000km on the clock. Pete drove it like he'd been driving it for years. This is one of the suspension bridges that we drove on when we were leaving Bergen.
We were on our way to an island called Vaerlandet....three and a half hours away...it felt rather strange to see so many trees on the mountains (after no trees on the Faroes).
Plenty of tunnels in Norway too...
Our first photo stop...I think I'm going to love Norway.
Lakes, fiords and brooks everywhere....
Gradually the weather changed...it became rather cloudy.
To get from one island to another we had to catch two car ferries...
I took this photo whilst on the second ferry to our final destination...the little town we are leaving is called
Askvoll.
And this is where we are staying for two nights...we were so thrilled when we opened the door....the island across the water is Alden.
View from our balcony at 5ish....now at 8ish we can't see the island at all (and it is still light here)...thanks to the fog.
We did a little exploring before dinner...
There are two groups of four chalets...our's is the third from the left.
