We
continued our route along Hardangerfjord
and
then turned northwards again towards Naerofjorden.
This was a very narrow steep sided valley with some
wonderful waterfalls cascading down it’s sides.
The
mount of active scree was tremendous – one of those places you wouldn’t want to
park up the van for long. At the edge of
the fjord we stopped to fill up water and whilst we were there saw a group of
people with camera gear watching the mountain.
Rob found out that they were waiting for a party of six base jumpers
with winged suits to jump off the 1000m + mountain!! Just like superman they dived into the bowl
shaped crevice and then used the winged suits to fly across the face of the
mountain and out over the valley where they deployed their suits. All six successfully landed and we are sure
their adrenalin levels were at a high
After
all that excitement we carried on to Flamsdalen where the cruise ships were in
dock and the passengers were flocking into the shops to spend their pennies
A quick look at the Flam railway and then onto
Aurlandsvagen
and
the 24km Laerdalen tunnel to Laerdalsoyri the longest road tunnel in Europe.
and
our overnight stop on the edge of ...yes you’ve guessed it ... Laerdalfjorden
