...I wish. It has been
so hot here and will be for the next week that Norway would be a welcome
relief. But I will just have to content
myself with a virtual return.
There were a few excursions offered while we
were on the Hurtigruten ferry and one that we definitely agreed on was the
excursion to the Geirangerfjord.
Here’s
what we saw:

| This is our ferry, the MS Trollfjord |
 |
| And here is the Geirangerfjord. |
After our overview of the fjord, we continued on.
We saw waterfalls.
And one of the oldest houses in Norway.
And we survived a trip down this road called the
Trollstigen Pass. I love the looks of
this road. It looks like it was actually
stitched down by trolls.
Our tour guide told us a little story about the
Trollstigen Pass. Here it is: A bus driver and a priest were trying to get
into heaven. Peter let the bus driver in
but didn’t want to let the priest in.
The priest was appalled and had to ask Peter,”Why does he get in and not
me?” “Because,” Peter said, “when you
did a service, everybody in the church was sleeping. But when the bus driver drove his bus down
the Trollstigen Pass, everybody was praying.”
It was a spectacular day of sight-seeing that
ended in a nice dinner at Quality Hotel Alexandra in Molde where we joined back
up with our boat the MS Trollfjord.

Wow! That is just gorgeous!! That road is amazing and kind of scary looking. I can see why this country is such a great tourist destination.
Fabulous waterfall -- and cute story. :)

Incredible photos! The oldest house is fascinating--the roof is like the floor of a forest!
