टूर एंटे पोर्टस

After the past days in the south of Norway, it is now slowly but surely time to go to Nord-Norge. I don't really want to leave the area, but maybe it could be nice elsewhere too. But first, of course, the Obertouri-Tour around and through the Geiranger Fjord will be made, and I must say... the scenery is really something. Starting with the viewpoint Flydalsjuvet, through a unique road construction called Knuten, to the ferry ride on the fjord. The highlight of this trip is the Seven Sisters Waterfall. Seven waterfalls located right next to each other with a drop height of around 300 meters.

After the ferry, the journey continues. I drive to the next tourist attraction, Trollstigen, via Valldal and the RV63. In itself, nothing special in Norway, but here they already demand a certain level of driving skills from the driver. I'm honestly glad that I own a left-hand drive car in some places. The designers of this road seem to have learned their craft in the Peruvian highlands.

After surviving, I head towards the Atlantic. Tonight I want to see the sea. The Trollstigen marks the end of the high mountains and the road now only sneaks along some fjords and then to the coast. I have chosen the area around the small fishing village Bud, in the far northwest of the Romsdal Peninsula. A completely sleepy place without large camper herds. Just what the geiranger-plagued bus traveler needs now. To end the day, the bike finally comes off the rear carrier and I spend two hours on a narrow coastal path in gale force seven winds. Strangely enough, always against the wind, no matter which direction I'm going.
