We began our next leg of incredible Norway with a drive along route 55, through the Jotunheimen National Park. We saw blue lakes...
white lakes...
the Sognefjell mountains...
and powerful rivers cutting through the ice.
Descending from the road's high point of 1430m we arrived at the Geiranger Fjord. It is perhaps the most beautiful in the country, if not the world.
We hiked up the side an met some South Americans.
The best way to see the fjord is by boat. The photos speak for themselves.
If you look to the right of this photo you'll see what was once a farm. There were several farms in Geirangerfjord as late as the 1960's. Some were in such precarious positions that the children were leashed whenever outdoors.
