Day 12, to the Troll's Road, Norway

Today's trip to the Troll's Road (not the official name - See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollstigen ) was awesome. Apparently, the weather often bad and the visibility bad also, but today, the weather was perfect, sunny, clear smd warm.

We had a wonderful dinner tonight at the hotel in Geiranger. A fancy smorgasbord with everything! We did not over eat though. We will feel better if we don't, and breakfast is provided for us tomorrow so there is no need to stuff ourselves tonight.

These photos taken in the shade on the Troll's Road had a blueish cast from the blue sky which I tried to remove with post processing. The only illumination was that clear blue sky with no direct sunlight. Anyway, I was not very successful at making them look normal. Maybe I should have left them blue? They do not look right.

That bridge looks so scary! You couldn't pay me to drive over it.

The bridge was nothing, it's when 2big busses meet at one of the corners and there is no room and no one really wants to give way, and then other vehicles stack up behind the busses. We had a situation like this this morning. Our driver had to get out and direct traffic. All turned out well in the end. We had an awesome drive with awesome scenery!
