Too exhausted last night to go down to the lobby to post - so yesterday's entry comes this morning!
Woke up very early this morning to catch our flight from Stockholm to Oslo! The walk to the train station this morning was beautiful so I grabbed a few last minute pictures. We landed in Oslo at 10:30am and were at the car rental counter by 11. And it turned out to be our lucky day because we were upgraded from an "economy" rental to a BMW complete with built in GPS! 😊 We programmed in our destination and hit the road. The drive took a little longer than we thought - we didn't even make it to Preikestolen Hotel until after 8. But, the drive here was beautiful! We passed numerous lakes, mountains, went through at least 20 tunnels - and even took a ferry! We succeeded in using all modes of transportation today - train, plane, car, and boat! 😊 Ernie did a great job driving us for 9 hours on some pretty narrow, steep and winding roads! After we arrived at the hotel it was time to grab dinner - proving that Kelly will eat just about anything
when she is hungry, including duck, which was the chef special tonight (and we thought it was the only thing we could order!) In any case, it wasn't half bad and with stomachs full we headed up to our room, which is essentially just a couple of twin beds and a shower - no frills here at the mountain lodge! But, the view is pretty spectacular! Tomorrow morning we are going to hike to the top of pulpit rock, which we hear is a bit snowy. And then we will drive to Odda where we will spend our second night in Norway! It's such a beautiful country! 😊
