The still surface of the lake mirrored the landscape.
|
The start of the descent to Geiranger, the first of many very real
challenges of the day. The slope of the road was 9-10%, hard work
for both car and driver!

Looking down at the famous Geiranger fjord, a very popular view
for tourists.
|
Cruiseships make the journey right in to the bottom of the fjord.

Although the descent to Geiranger was an ardous task it was only
practice for the major descent of the day...
|
Trollstigen! The Troll ladder, only open for traffic during the
summer season. One lane wide with infrequent places to pass.
|

|
|
Tourists in camper cars make an interesting obstacle...
|
A huge waterfall half way down made sure everyone got a shower.
Unfortunately the spray was so strong we had to take a photo from
the distance.

Looking up at the Troll ladder from down below. Note the sign
warning of Trolls, even the highway authorities sometimes have a
sense of humour!
|
The day included to stretches by ferry, here we have the intrepid
luggage crew and 'net-reporters driving on to terra firma.
