Fjords and Mountains 2018
Introduction
In June 2018 I took a good friend from UK on a tour along the western part of Norway. Within a week I showed him some of my favorite roads in this part of the country. The journey went along fjords and over mountains, thus I have simply named this tour “Fjords and...
Day 1 – arrival in Oslo

Day 6 – Saving the best for last…
Even though this is the last whole day together, none of us can really pick one favorite distance on this tour - it still might be claimed that this day was the icing of the cake. Leaving Geiranger up the eagle road, short ferryride on a calm fjord reflecting the...
