Road trip Hordaland 2/2

On the previous article, I shared with you a picture of our car in the snow. At this moment, we make a step because we saw the ice on the road and we weren’t at the top of mountains. After a moment of reflection, we decided to continue, slowly, on the road:

 

We went to Ustaoset. It’s a small village with frozen lakes and white mountains. Houses are lost in the middle of nowhere, sometimes there isn’t any road to go to houses!

At the beginning, we have thought to go to Stavanger, a big city built thank to oil’s earnings. We already knew that it will be difficult to reach this town but with the snow it’s became impossible. Thus, we drove to Odda a city well-known for a famous hike.

We took a road and after 20 kilometers, the road was block by this panel and we eared an explosion:

It’s was not allowed to continue because they were exploding mountains to build tunnels! So, we went back and took a ferry to reach Odda. The hike was short but nice, I saw for the first time of my life a glacier.

At 5pm it was completely dark.

We went back to the city center and took a Norwegian beer in a pub without looking at the price: 31€ for two beers. Outch!

 

After this break, we searched for a place to sleep. We found a nice harbor to park the car in Jondal.

Last day:

After a breakfast and a hike in Jondal, we took the ferry to Tørvikbygd.

Bergen, my home town, was still far away.

We drove during several hours on wonderful and incredible roads…

 

After a while, we arrived in the south of Bergen:

This is the end of this adventure!

 

Next time I will tell you the story of a student boat cruise that we made the week-end before the road trip in Hordaland.

See you!
