Our next day in Tau, Norway we went on a hike. We were going to hike to the most dangerous rock in Norway...
And we actually drove halfway there. But then the road ended and we discovered that we had to take a ferry for a few miles to get to the hike. And since it was Sunday the ferry only went once that day and we had already missed it! But the drive was beautiful so it wasn't a total waste! I mean, look at how beautiful this view is...
So we drove to another hike call Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock. It's about a 2.5 mile hike and it was beautiful! We had good luck with the weather too, it was a gorgeous day. Here we are on our way up...
The view was breathtaking from the top! Seriously one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. The cliff is about 1982 ft above the Lysefjorden which made me stay pretty far away from the edge!
and a group shot from far away, I'm so glad you had us take this shot Anne!!
We then grabbed dinner and relaxed at our Airbnb. The next day we went on a fjord boat tour, since we had missed it with our train snafu. Here are Adam and I on the boat...
and we got to see Preikestolen (the hike we just did) from the water which was pretty cool...
we also got to try some glacier water, which was pretty refreshing :)
We then went to lunch and it was amazing!!
We also saw the Stavanger Cathedral and then grabbed a little snack, a cardamom cinnamon roll!
We also went to the Swords in Rock, which commemorate a historic viking battle.
We then flew back to Oslo for our next adventure!
When we got to Oslo it was pretty late. So Anne, Mark, Adam and I had this crazy idea to sleep in the airport since we had an early flight to Paris the next morning. It was going to take us about 1 1/2 hrs to get to our hotel (3 hrs roundtrip) so we looked for the best place to sleep. It took me forever to fall asleep so I'm not sure if it was a good decision ;) But it did make for some good pics!
