Day 14

I was looking forward to today, a trail that there was no risk of a road barrier. We drove a toll road called Aursjøvegen which did not disappoint. The climb was so steep in sections where I was in 2nd gear. At the top we were at 950 moh but at that height and with today's weather we didn't get to see much. The fog rolled in quickly and stayed.
Some of the switch back turns were too much for my wife, she had her hand firmly gripping the door handle thinking that a quick exist was possible if something went wrong. 😯
A road that is on the to-do again list, but with clearer weather.

From there we took to the coastline again taking many smaller roads, the trip is so much more relaxing not having to deal with traffic all the time. On a smaller road leading eventually to Geiranger we meet a police car, said to Ulla there must have been an accident?? A few minutes later we came across a new Range Rover sitting on it's side down a deep ditch. The torn up grass on the side of the road and into the ditch told the whole story, excessive speed for road conditions. On the same road I pulled over for a motorcycle to let pass and I got a thumbs up. 😊

Now we are in Geiranger at the same camp that we have used previously.
