One Week Easter Vacation in The Norwegian Fjords - The Road Trip

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Suldal, Norway - a gem where you can go fishing, skiing or hiking. I love this place! Here’s a bunch of pics from my three hour road trip with my dad today.

The gorgeous mountains in the fjord

To get to our cabin/summer house we have to drive about 2,5 hours, but the trip is divided in three shorter drives as we need to take two ferries to get there. The ferries give us a nice break from the driving!

Notice the cabin on that small island?
Not my cabin, but I wish it was

Wonder what Norwegians do for one week during Easter? Ski, read, eat candy and hang out in tiny cabins with their family. Here are the books I plan on reading.

I hope you all have a great Easter, either you celebrate or not.

Looks really great @Susanne.
I am building a cabin, but it is not ready before the first week in May, but next easter I am at the mountains :)
You got a lovely view from your place.
Is it fresh or salt water we see?

Thank you. You are? That’s amazing.
Where about?
That is the great ocean! I’ll go fishing tomorrow and let you know if I catch something.

Seems like you're in for a great Easter! I'll make sure to note down your reading material in my to-read list. I'm currently stuck with some fiction, but after those...

I hope I am. Quality time
Woh my family is always nice. What are your plans?
Ugh, I can’t way I’m a fan of fictition. Loose it! Haha

I'll be skiing and drinking cocoa in western Norway. I'm not very good at cross country skiing, so I'll stick with alpine skiing.

After your earlier one and now this one I know for sure I have to go there one day! really impressive pictures

Thank you, and I agree! You have to come to Norway.

And write some Steemit posts of course 8-)

I wish we had space in the Netherlands as in Norway to have a cabin like that. Wouldn't mind moving there someday! Thanks for sharing!

Hahahha, of course!

Let me know if you do. Or if you just Visit for a weekend!
Thank you for reading and leaving a reply. I really appreciate all your input.

No problem, actually I'm slowly getting addicted to all this Steemit stuff so I'm enjoying it! I will let you know for sure, where are you located again? I have a friend in Oslo that I'm visiting once in a while.

Åh, det ser helt nydelig ut! Velkjent natur med gode barndomsminner. For en herlig hytte rett ved vannet. God påskeferie til deg og dine! 😊

Ja, her blir det hvilepuls. Digg å være så når havet og fjellet på en og samme tid.
I like måte! Nyt fjellet og familietid!

Ja, det må være veldig fint, en hytte for alle sesonger! Tusen takk! 😊

Wow! I'm amazed :)

Such a beautiful country, right? The question is when are you coming to Tromso ;)
Btw... our latest video might convince you: https://busy.org/@toocurious/obagd4on

a very nice photo @susanne, the atmosphere is very cool, I really like this atmosphere. so quiet and peaceful.

the fjords are beautiful. There are some spots in Chile that have a similar look, in Patagonia

Yes, it’s so nice to be here for Easter. Oh, I really want to go to Patagonia! It looks unreal.
