Aurland

---

Here we have our drive from Bergen to Aurland, and a couple of pictures around our guesthouse. The day is simply beautiful, at least after we leave the fully overcast skies of Bergen (remember, they only have one in six sunny days). Our route, of course, follows the fjords with innumerable tunnels-the longest seven miles. Building roads here is not cheap and many incorporate a toll. They are very efficient in collecting tolls; simply register your tag with their toll website and it occurs automatically, even painlessly...until the credit card bill comes due.

Our drive passes a number of waterfalls; we are sure we missed many more, but we will send the ones we liked the most. Hope you like them as well. The fjords have waterfalls around most every corner.

Finally, we have a very special treat courtesy of Baby Bird...another picture of Sally, yes we are sooo lucky!

Okay, another finally; this is a bit of a heads up. There are a ton of pictures to take, and we do not intend on falling too far behind, so brace yourselves for many posts. Preikestolen is about ready, maybe this afternoon.

Country Bus Stop
Passed this country bus stop and noticed the green roof we had seen on some houses in Norway. These fellas are environmentally sound and provide good insulation. Besides, the are unique.

Knute Rockne
Sure folks know of Knute. He was born where we found this statue-Voss, Norway.

Roadside Waterfall
This country has a waterfall or two. You may become sick of them if you view all the pictures we will send, but so far, we still love them.

Waterfall and...
HP noticed the waterfall dead ahead, but the more observant Bird saw something else. Did you? Notice the hang gliders to the right. We waited a tad after Bird's observation to capture this.

Several Waterfalls
Several falls here up quite high.

Neighborhood Waterfall
This gal is a couple of hundred yards from our room.

Another Neighborhood Waterfall
This fella is a bit more than 200 yards, but we are looking at it from our deck while having Norwegian smoked salmon for Hors d'oeuvre

Aurland Waterfront
View back at some of quaint Aurland from the ferry dock.

Lookout
Look high in the center. This is a unique viewpoint built by the Norwegians of the fjord below-our current location. We will take a picture from there in a couple of days.

Fjord Transportation
Folks waiting at the dock for the ferry. We will take that fella tomorrow for a tour of this World Heritage fjord.

Sally!
We deliver on the special treat.
