Our first real riding day.It would turn out to be a cold wet day.

We rode on frontage roads, bike paths and secondary roads.

There was a bit of a climb to this vista point, the top of the Skjervsfossen waterfall.

The descent. Steep and twisting and we followed skate boarders participating in an extreme sports event. Crazy!The curves lined with stacks of tires for those wiping out. There was a bridge crossing the middle section of the waterfall.

Waterfalls everywhere!

A significant climb before the descent into Ulvik.

This picture shows the location of Ulvik as part of the Hardanger Fjord.

Another food adventure at dinner. Cauliflower soup. Not bad.

Followed by white fish and vegetables. Our dinner menus are fixed, no substitutions.

27 miles today. A hot shower was greatly appreciated.

After breakfast, we walked to the bike rental place and picked up our bikes. We rode back to our hotel, picked up our suitcases and awkwardly walked a very short distance to the train station.

So many beautiful villages along the route. And lots of long dark tunnels. Tonight’s hotel was next to the train station which was nice because it was raining and we were pushing the bikes and pulling the suitcases. View from my window.

we went a walk during a lull in the rain to see Bordalsgjelet.

From the bridge crossing the river.

We started walking uphill, it was steep at times. Looking back at the bridge we crossed.

Bordal Gorge was formed during the last ice age because of its soft phyllite rock.

The hotel restaurant was upscale (to me) and served local ingredients. Smoked salmon appetizer with horseradish cream, caviar, pickled apple, and rye bread crumbles.

First time eating goat .. and probably our last – we all made a good effort though.

We took a walk around town. Bryggen Wharf and surrounding streets.

Dinner at Olivia, we shared two delicious pizzas.

In Munich, we learned our next flight was rescheduled for tomorrow! Not good. We went to the service counter and found a work-around. Next flight, Munich to

We boarded the final plane for a 2-hour flight to
