Exploring Norway, part 4 of 6

Route: Geiranger – Bergen
(via ferry to Hellesylt and then E39)
Distance: 370km
Ferry:
Geiranger-Hellesylt (490NOK)
Lavik-Ytre Oppedal (90NOK)

Highlights:
– Geiranger – aka the most beautiful fjord in the world, according to the exploring team πŸ™‚
– Me holding a ferry in my strong palm
– Vitalie holding a ferry in his strong palm
– 5000 Italians watching us, while having breakfast
– 1 photo of myself with cross-arms, I guess I am not very open to Norwegian people
– 1 photo of another crew member with cross-arms as well, I guess Moldovans are not very open to Norwegian people πŸ™‚

The ferry cruise between Geiranger-Hellesylt is on the world’s most famous fjord takes approx. one hour. Alongside the sheer mountain cliffs and the many waterfalls, you can see evidence of people who have lived and worked here in the form of many abandoned farms and shoreline smallholdings that will no doubt leave a lasting impression. The local legends are many and the history is there for you to see.

Luckily we we found 2 horses lost in the mountains πŸ™‚
