We’ve been traveling down the fjords from the sea, taking in the mountains, landscape, waterfalls and deep blue waters. The fjord was busy with lots of small vessels, helicopters and a few other cruise ships………….

We had docked for a short time at Hellesylt, population 258, to let some folks off, who were going to hike. We have now made our way to Geirangerfjord, and will dock here. I wonder how many people live here? It seems to be even smaller than Hellesylt! We are going by bus up the steep Trollstigen Mountain Road, that weaves through the village connecting to the Flydalsjuvet Lookout Point. From here, we can see where have been, looking back at the Seven Sisters Waterfalls. I’ve included a map and you can scroll in or out or make the map larger, to see where we are and how we traveled from Alesund to Hellesylt to Geirangerfjord! We can’t believe we are here!

This is what that mountain road looks like and need I mention it is the only road here? And, there is a waterfall coming off the mountain……….

A view on the other side of the falls looks like this……….with another falls!

On the bus up to the lookout, the scenery looked like this……the mountain pass is narrow too……..

Looking back down from the lookout point………..

and from here…………

and back at the Seven Sisters……..

Heading higher into the mountains……..more waterfalls……..they’re everywhere!

Among the mountain farms………

There is a Mountain Church………..

And when we come down the mountain, there is a mountain lake and bigger farms……….

There also appears to be a park with camping allowed along the lake………….

and rushing creeks along the road…….

and a small, small village with one general purpose store………

and a few homes………along the lake……..

Rounding the bend this way……..

Is the Dale Church……all the churches here seem to have identical steeples……..

The Dale Church is across from a row of fishermen huts……….

So you could go from church to fishing without much effort!

Just pull your boat down the rocky path………….

Like this gent………

Another look at the lake……

And, some more houses, maybe there were ten or so here.

One of my favorites was this one! I really think these folks are hearty!  Life has to be very slow paced and satisfying…………….

But, this is the big town before we get to our destination of the day……..The Herdalsetra Farm……..so back on the bus we go! Out into the wilds of Norway!

I can hardly wait to see the Farm! We will get there!
