Ardalsfjorden, Borgund and Aurlandsdalen

Next we carried on over the top to Ovre Ardal, the lovely Ardalsfjorden      

and some lovely views up to Lustrafjorden

The weather was being kind to us so we drove back up the Laerdal and onto the historic route to visit the oldest unaltered stave kirke in Norway at Borgund

The afternoon was spent driving on the fv50 road through Aurlandsdalen and Sudndalen.  The road climbs steeply out of Aurland using the ubiquitous hairpin but this time with a twist – these hairpins were in tunnels inside the mountain ... have I told you Rob hates tunnels!  The road over was marred by the pylons carrying the electric from the hydroelectric stations.  Found a good spot to stop the night, another picnic layby with only the sound of the sheeps bells to keep us awake
