Ok then, I've decided not to write so much about the trip after all, but instead show a couple of more impressions from the road.

After leaving at 9 in the morning on Saturday, we drove over six hours through beautiful scenery and weather – blue sky all the way – to our cottage in Aurland directly situated next to the fjord. On our way we encountered, besides Norwegian back country at its best, freezing temperatures as low as -15°C, dozens of tunnels, a town made for short people and two very laid back truck drivers. And at some points we felt very lucky our rental had four wheel drive...

At our destination awaited us a luxurious cottage with breathtaking view. After enjoying the hypnotic effect of the fireplace and a hearty dinner, we let the night drown out with a couple of drinks, some relaxed card playing and a good movie. Rise and shine the next morning at 8 and all the way back again on a slightly different route.

Sounds cheesy, I know, but what do you expect to happen in surroundings that Bob Ross himself couldn't have done better :)
