Today was quite a long drive from Gudvangen to Oslo. The first half of the drive was incredibly scenic, going through snowy mountains and next to frozen lakes! We stopped for 2 minute noodles right on the edge of a lake which was pretty beautiful. The weather was lovely too! We reached Oslo at about 3:30 and drove around for a while trying to find street parking close to where we were staying. Once we eventually found parking we nipped to the supermarket and then...

We had a relaxing morning at home today, although Calvin was a bit more active and went for a walk to the waterfall while Kate and Tim chilled out at the accommodation. It's a pretty impressive place for a morning stroll! At about 11:30, after having an early lunch at the cabin, we walked the short distance to the Gudvangen ferry terminal where we got on the 12:00 tourist ferry 'The Fjord'.

The lady said we would probably have to do a convoy drive a couple of times! A convoy...

We got ready and packed up, said goodbye to our beautiful accommodation overlooking the fjord and headed onto Bergen - about a 5 hour drive. The lady at the tourist office in Jørpeland yesterday recommended taking the scenic route up instead of just taking the ferry to Stavanger and then driving up that way. So we took t...
