Road Trip… (Part I)

Ok, I will try to remember and write down most of this adventurous trip… As I already mentioned, we had a great time and Norway is just a beautiful place to travel…

Monday 28th September 2009 – late afternoon: Vroni arrives @ Gardemoen Airport – good to see her! From there we start directly our journey…

Gardemoen – Fagernes, 192 km

The girls @ Gardemoen Airport...

I didn’t really plan a route where to go, just had an overview where it would be cool to go… It turned out throughout the whole journey that this was the best idea! No plan but sooo lucky;-)…

Well, you know what – I will add more pictures (I guess that’s more interesting;-)…) and will tell some stories to the pixxxx… Easier;-)…

…yes – can u believe – we slept in there for the whole week;-)… nice, cosy and warm;-)… I brought an extra duvet as I knew it’s gonna be cold in the nights AND that was a really good idea… I started the trip with a cold, Vroni caught one during the week. The air in the car during the night was horrible, sooo dry that we both suffered from that…

2nd day: Tuesday, 29th September 2009: Fagernes – Beitostolen – Jotunheimen N. P. – Lom – Gaupne, 253 km

…we drove along and found this nice, vacate hut and had breakfast there… yeah, sun is shining…:-) brrrhh, really cold…

…driving, stopping, driving, stopping to take pixxx and this with a max. speed of 80 km’s/hour… In Norway you don’t get far within an hour – it takes ages to get from one point to another… I guess another way of enjoying nature…;-) Our average speed was 60 km’s/h…;-)

The second day we were getting closer to the mountains, snow was greeting… Jotunheimen National Park…

Along the way we drove by a Sommarskisenter, saw some cars coming down the glacier and thought – well, it’s not far, so let’s drive up there! It was already 4 p.m. and we didn’t think much about it – a steep road led us to the Skisenter, we were unlucky – it was already stengt (closed) – no passing through… So we had to turn around and keep going on our journey…

…Knorr Sonntagssuppe, downjacket, gloves, hat… all you need for a good dinner…;-)

…heavy winters @ Jotunheimen National Park… Along the way @ Sognefjellsvegen, passing the first mountain pass – this snow stack shows how much snow they get… amazing!!!!
