We took these pictures in the morning before breakfast. They were scenes all right outside our hotel.
Today we drove back in the direction from which we had come because we wanted to go to Kristiansund, which is where we were supposed to have gone yesterday, but the flight cancellation just kind of messed our schedule up a little bit. So, we crossed again with the big ferry and this time the weather was much colder, rainier and windier. But the ferry has nice warm rooms inside so we again got out of the car, but this time we didn't hang around outside at all.
Once off the ferry, we took a road that headed more to the west so that we could drive closer to the North Sea. It was a really nice drive with some absolutely outstanding views. Again, it was quite cold and windy and it rained periodically.
We are now taking a road called the Atlantic Ocean Road. To me it was a beautiful road, and showed Norway at its roughest. In these pictures, we climbed a hill in really really cold and windy weather but it was worth it to get the pictures.
Then we stopped at a little place that we thought was open, but it was closed. We looked around a little before it started pouring rain.
It was still pouring rain when we reached this little cafe where we stopped to have hot chocolate. Oh, that hot chocolate tasted SO good in this weather. This was about the coldest spot so far, with the rain and the wind whipping. But we walked around in it anyway, so we could get some pictures of the bridge we had just crossed.
Tonight we are in Kristiansund. It is a perfect postcard image of Norway. And way too cold to do any hanging around outside. This is a picture out the window of our hotel room.
We drove around looking for a restaurant and found a perfect seafood restaurant along one of the harbors.
We peeked at the harbor before going into the restaurant.
We've just been served our food and we found it to be delicious! We all had excellent food there - even tried some whale meat!!
