We got away to Norway in July to have a look around, it is one of those places that I had seen photos of these crazy landscapes and always wanted to experience for myself. So when the chance came I was pretty excited to finally check the place out.
The plan was to hire a car in Oslo, have it for a week to drive out to Bergen and back again. It was a pretty epic trip that included glimpses of the midnight sun, a stay in what is arguably the hotel with the best view in the world, a ride on the world's steepest railway line, driving through the world's longest tunnel, standing on top of glacial carved fjords and stupidly placed rocks almost a kilometre above the ground below, and other awesome sights, sounds and times.
I'm stoked to have had a taste of this place, but another week would have probably done it justice, even if it was stupidly expensive.

| The usual waterfall. |

| Laerdal Tunnel - the world's longest road tunnel at 24.5km long. It has three of these caverns in it to simulate a sunrise and wake the driver up. A pretty good idea considering you are in darkness for almost 30minutes (see the darkness in the tunnel ahead?) |
