From Stryn it was another run east along the 15 with the lake absolutely still
Past the turning for the Strynefjellt and through the tunnel and along the road to Lom. This is where the fun started and the next 80 miles along the Sognefjellsveg and Aurlandsvegen mountain roads.
This was unbroken 80 miles of this....
Followed by this......
And this......
And turning off the Sognefjellsveg after 55 miles at the Turtagro Hotel to go along the toll road to Ovre Ardal which cuts out the ferry at Fodnes.
The toll road is the one going over the mountain to the left.
After dropping into Ovre Ardal via some of the tightest hairpins I've been on for a while, I follow the fiord around on the 53 to Laerdal and the fun starts again as its the start of the Aurlandsvegen mountain road to Aurland & Flam. Of course you can always take the 25km tunnel and miss this...
And this......
And coming down to views over the Aurlandsfiord like these
It's that enough for one day? No, leave Flam via the E16 tunnels heading for Voss but took the detour to Stalheim to get this view of the Naeroydal valley as it was only about 2 miles out of the way
Another ferry then awaits at the end of the 13 to cross the Eidfiord and a ten mile or so run to the digs at Lofthus. Very nice place, it's in the local Folkehogskule which has shut for the school hols
It's the cheapest of the trip so far, working out at 285nok (£32) incl breakfast plus I got upgraded for free to an ensuite!!!!
