Summer Solstice

The drive from Oslo to our first fjord, Lysefjord was ridiculously beautiful. Little did we know at the time, but that's just what Norway looks like.


Towards the end of the drive along the Fv500 we were surprised to find that a lot of snow/ice still hadn't accepted that it was summer.

 We arrived late in the day to this view and the realisation that we bloody love fjords.

The same view at 10:45pm.

The next day we overcame the rather challenging hike to Kjerag. It was a bit steep.

Just relaxing in the sun on a typical Norwegian Midsummer's Day.





  

At the end of the hike is a magnificent view of the fjord




While for many the view is reward enough, some crazy people like to stand on the kjeragbolten, below which there is a 241m drop and then another tumble of 735m down to the water.

Those who are even more crazy than Josh prefer to jump off the cliff. Apparently you need proper training and equipment for that, so we didn't try it.


Why buy bottled water when you can just walk up a mountain and get it yourself?

Standing on top of the world.
