Today was mostly spent driving in rain. Sun did shine once for us though, so we could see what we've been missing!

This is Slettafossen: a slot in the rocks the raging Rauma River is squeezed through. Not really a waterfall though.

Parked up just over the river from the Troll Wall. Already seen couple of avalanches as last of the snow melts. Epic!

Just another brief stop by the water for snacks This is literally round the corner from Langfjorden.

New decoration for the lounge. So... we're here for a couple of months... what's the plan?

... later that day. Worth putting up with the rain, huh? BTW, this is Langfjorden from Mittet at almost 9pm.

Short(ish) hike up the hill (Milthaugen I think) behind campsite. Bit misty and wet at the top! Still fun though

Post ride refreshments: Fresh baguette, couple of cheeses & Leffe. Le Tour will be on the TV momentarily. #Perfect

Romsdalsfjord looking spectacular this morning! Will hike Romsdalseggen ridge (in centre) today. Hope weather holds!

Arriving on the ridge, we were greeted with mist rolling up from the valley. So much for that view I thought...

Looking along Romsdalseggen ridge. Dots of other hikers maybe just visible on the edge. This is where we're heading.

Hiking along rather slim ridge with the aid of chains. I enjoyed this but someone else said it was scary. Pfft

This is the view North-east-ish from Romsdalseggen ridge. Pretty, but nothing compared to the Rauma valley side.

Another look to the Rauma Valley side. We had to put up with variations on this view practically all day. Tough!

End of 'tricky' stuff? Was a trail register to sign off here, but plenty of scope to fall off cliffs still ahead!

Pratiwi negotiating part of the, "It's not dangerous, honest!" section. To be fair, it's not as bad as it looks

Not really best way to finish an all day hike: slippery roots galore on a very steep slope! Still an epic day though!

Time to leave Andalsnes area & head South. Which means a drive up Trollstigen. Not as much fun as riding it though

Random pictures from the Norwegian road. This is the '63' heading South from Trollstigen. Lovely.

Strawberry season in Norway. I'm not usually a fan but we bought some on the side of the road & wow! Soooooo good!

Recall my DSLR died? New one shipping here so must wait by this fjord all week & make do with phone camera. Sigh!

Geiranger from the fjord. When the tide is out you can walk down there We're parked on the shore centre frame.

Rode from fjord 1,500m up to Dalsnibba, where on a clear day should be able to see the start. Not today, too misty

When I said before that we were parked on the shore. I mean... right on the edge. Perfect location!

This happens when the tide goes waaaaay out: our fjord view becomes a (kind of rough) beach view Cheers Norway!

Start of short hike up to Vesterasfjellet. We had to go by the 'waterfall steps' again. Much better with sunshine

New camera, hurrah! Test of when 180° isn't wide enough: stitch of 2 fisheye shots at our spot by Geirangerfjord.

Today we aim to hike from the bottom of an almost sheer cliff up & over it home. Only way to the start is by boat!

Dropped of by the little sightseeing/ferry boat it's time to start climbing. We're heading for Skagefla farm.

Tiny area of clear land hundreds of metres up a cliff above a fjord. Good place for a farm, ja? That's Skagefla farm!

I told Pratiwi it would make for a better pose if she let go of the cable, but for some reason she wasn't keen!

Lunch stop overlooking famous '7 Sisters' waterfall. On the zoom a tiny farm like that we passed is visible. Crazy!

The view to Geiranger, so we're almost home? Have to say the pollution that single ship caused was horrific!

Oystercatchers in Geiranger. Squawk like a squeaky toy when running at each other trying to impress their ladies!

I knew this crate of beer would come in useful some day! Cleaning the awning by Geirangerfjord.

The drive from Geiranger up to the crystal clear waters of Djupvatnet 1,000m higher. Wasn't like this when I rode up!

More scenes from the roads of Norway. This is Route 15 & just a fraction of the many, many rapids that run alongside.

Highest paved road in Northern Europe: 13.1km @ 10%. Middle 4km @ 12%. Many sections at 20% plus! In the rain. #Rule5

Crossing the highest mountain pass in Norway. Snow & iceberg strew lakes abound. And this is the middle of summer!

Mountain roads in Norway: breath in everyone! We had a forced lunch stop earlier to let brakes cool down too. Steep!

Brunost (Norwegian brown cheese). Milk, cream & whey heated so sugars turn into rich caramel. Sounds healthy, huh?

Road tunnels along fjord not great for cyclists, but this seems a typical bypass. Drop on right into water though!

Solvorn-Ornes ferry on foot. Bit nippy & breezy on fjord (Lustrafjorden that is). Typical Norwegian experience!

Urnes stave church, on the inside this time. Tiny place really. Dates from 1150AD. Amazing age for a wooden building!

Approaching Solvorn on the return ferry & few pics from around the houses here. Pretty little place.

Evening view across Sognefjord from Balestrand.

Another view across Sognefjord from Balestrand. At least the changeable weather makes for an ever changing view

Hiking above Balestrand & Sognefjord. Beautiful day for it & great views from the top!

The hotel in Balestrand. Lovely old place right on the water. No, we didn't stay here, due to our palace on wheels

Norwegian tourist road 13. Couple days back rode this on the bike in sunshine. Much more fun. Look at those hairpins!

Random lunch stop. We can always find somewhere with a view to enjoy This little lake is Viksdalsvatnet.

Saw this in a Norwegian supermarket & knew we had to try it. Guessed it was bacon & cheese in a tube & it is! Yum!

Today's ride: Vossevangen, along Hamlagrøvatnet (turns out this is largest lake in the area) & back. Very peaceful!

Skjervsfossen in the sunshine. Nice rainbows! Beautiful place & absolutely no-one else here which is also a bonus

Down to the side of Hardangerfjord. The fjord is huge, but this kindof branch we first came across is so picturesque.

You may think, "Not another waterfall!" but Steinsdalsfossen is different: you can walk behind it which is very cool!

Tiny Norwegian settlement by Hardangerfjord. Driving along fjords you pass this stuff all the time. Ahhh....

Despite lack of man-made light pollution it's pointless trying to take star pictures in summer this far north. Doh!

Tourist route 550, along South side of Hardangerfjord. Loads of fruit growers here so we bought cherries too

Eastern end of Hardangerfjord. The little village the ship (same one we saw in Geiranger) is moored at is Eidfjord.

Voringfossen from the top. Path & bridge at bottom we walked just visible. Note huge hotel on cliff above for scale!

Plenty of road tunnels in Norway, most long, boring & dark. Not this one! Complete with circle & funky blue lighting!

Rest of today's ride (Hildal to Hara): Stunning mountain pass left traffic free as main road now runs in a tunnel!

Few weeks ago we were in a cafe, TV in corner had one of these 'slow' shows on. WTF, I thought, but all is explained! http://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_...

Tourist road 520 from Røldalsvatnet (lake way below the hairpins) to Sauda. Almost got blown over taking last shots!

Long day on the road (Sauda to Jørpeland). Changeable weather all the way, & some different views further South too.

This cliff is hidden from view on the hike up. The "Holy crap!" feeling of stepping round the corner here is awesome!

That dot is Pratiwi close as she dare go - so not that close - to edge of Preikestolen. 604m drop to fjord below!

Logic says it's fine to sit on the edge, but primal self preservation was making me uncomfortable just snapping this!

Preikestolen from above. Almost beyond belief how lucky we got with the weather & light. So, so, so, sooooo lucky!

Views of Lysefjord as we head for the ferry at Oanes. Today is our last day in fjord county & will miss these scenes!

81NOK for a 330ml Stella in this bar. That's around $14 Aussie! No wonder everyone is drinking water... not joking!
