The rain has a way of changing ones expectations. It rained all day. While I did see the Fjords of Norway, the clouds & rain did tend to hide their grandeur. Their were many opportunities to see the scenery, but the narrow roads of this area do not offer many places to stop & look. So there were many fleeting glimpses of grand vistas. While the traffic here is very light, the places where the roads are very narrow gave me a sense that danger lurked around ever twist & bend in the road. Most of the on coming vehicles were automobiles, but occasionally there were large trucks. There were tunnels long & short. So many tunnels that I lost count. On this drive, there were two small ferry boats, fortunately I arrived at the same time they did. No waiting! As I look out the hotel window, I see small patches of blue sky, giving me hope that tomorrows weather will be more cooperative. Thoughts of my days of bike touring, remind me that at least I didn’t spend today in the rain on a bicycle.
