07-07-2016 Bong & Geiranger Part 1

After parking the car

at Hellesylt,

we ran to the jetty that would take us to 

Geiranger!!

We were not so very lucky

with the weather..

it rained a little bit and the sky was kinda grayish...

But that did not

spoil the breathtaking view

of the whole journey~

Instead it gave a

blurry mystery

kind of fairy take feeling to the beautiful fjords~

Both Lars and the audio guide

gave a lot of information

about the fjords, waterfalls, old farms

throughout the journey~

But this is the only one

that I remember~

The seven sisters waterfall!

and the suitor

(shape of a bottle)

And not to forget,

this skull-looking

thingy~

which has no story and I was the one noticed it!

After about an hour,

we slowly approached Geiranger

and there were already some vacation cruises there~

Imagine how nice it is

to have a room

with balcony in a cruise~

The first place that we went

after arriving at Geiranger

was this famous

Geiranger Chocolate store.

Producing chocolates

that mix with ingredients such as brown cheese,

whisky,

or even...

chili??

I ordered a cup of warm

chocolate with chili~

After a small break

at Geiranger Chocolate,

we continued to the sight-seeing...

to the 

wonderful majestic 

Geiranger waterfall~

Just follow the sign...

and follow the pathway~

And climb up

the stairs~

To be continued.....

04-07-2016 Bong & Stranda

We arrived at Stranda

after 7-8 hours of driving

from Oslo~

We were then invited to Lars' place

for dinner~

The house is located up on the hill...

so accompanying us eating the dinner,

was the nice view of Stranda!

We could even see the red tent

of ours~

After the dinner

and a few hours of chit chat there,

we walked down the hill

to where we stayed.

The 'center' area of Stranda

was quiet...

We walked a bit there,

then headed back to Stranda Feriesenter

which was where we rent a camping place for ourselves~

The camping place

costed 190 Kroner per night~

and the shower costed 10 Kroner for 4 minutes~

(Interesting right? Lol)

Besides camping plass,

they do have some hytta (cabins)

but we were too late to book one~

So we built up our tent

right beside where we parked the car~

Red car red tent! Lol!!

The place has a shared kitchen

where the people stay there can cook food

(Eating out in Norway is extremely expensive!!)

But note that,

there is no fridge there~

Otherwise the kitchen is kinda good....

Shower is the part that is

not so very good.

You must pay to use shower, 

or more like use the hot water

(In Norway it is impossible to take cold shower..lol)

And the machine is kinda stupid.

Once you insert the card,

you use up 10 Kroner and it only gives you 4 minutes

of hot water~

Come on! 4 minutes!!

We did buy 20 Kroner,

but not sure if we get more than 8 minutes..

or just 2 times of 4 minutes~

Well,

this part is kinda nice...

bathrooms and toilets for kids!!!

To be continued...

XOXO
