We set out early again in search of bigger, more impressive fjords. Our tour took us to the Hardangerfjord.

The first ferry stop was a tiny town (Eidfjord) with almost nothing to do, unless you paid another 250Kr for a tour of the nature centre. V and I strolled around ‘town’ for a while before asking the tourist office how to find some Viking burial mounds on the shockingly drawn map. Apparently a 90min walk – and that was all we had before the ferry was due to depart. We did the walk in 60mins – impressive even for Norwegian standards. The burial mounds turned out to be a few piles of rocks, but the walk was worth it with great views.

From there the ferry cruised along the fjord. Blue/green water (apparently to a depth of ~900m) and cliffs all around is pictureseque, but after a few hours we were completely fjorded out. Could not keep our eyes open and fell asleep in the ferry lounge.

Back in Bergen we headed for an Internet cafe to upload our growing collection for photos. Usually I work pretty fast on a pc, but with the clock ticking at 2Kr per minute it felt like I had never seen a mouse ! Gave up after 30mins having accomplished nothing – really frustrating. Will be more prepared next time. No galleries uploaded yet.
