This article is Nana original text, pictures, if you want to reprint, please contact me in advance, thank you for your understanding and support!

Through five flights, eight ferries, eight trains, self driving for 10 days, three types of vehicles, more than 2500 kilometers, passing through more than 30 cities and towns, transforming 12 hotels, covering four fjords, five national landscape roads, and more than 100 scenic spots ~ this is a heroic journey full of unknown, a hard practice, and a flawless journey. Four girls, set out bravely. Although full of unknown and difficult, but we move forward together.

When I wrote this passage, I realized that this trip was so wonderful. The unusual experience of Norwegian mountain road, the miniature of Norway, the Atlantic road at dusk, we had many unexpected surprises~

Cut the crap and show the trailer first

origin

Since 2011, Nana Schengen has visited Europe twice in a row with her good friend Lulu, covering the streets, mountains and lakes of France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland. Among them, France, Spain and Italy are all countries with distinctive architectural features. Nana for those European architecture, from love to no sense; Even more resistant to churches, famous paintings and sculptures. At the beginning of the year, Nana was determined to change the continent. Unexpectedly, all this was changed by a sharing meeting

A sharing meeting in the tourism circle filled me with expectations for Belgium and Iceland. And because the brochure of the Norwegian tourism administration is too well done, plus the Lofoten islands that I miss very much last year, the miracle stone, giant's tongue and preaching stone in my dream; There is also the amazing natural phenomenon Aurora, Norway, which is the country with the lowest destination in my mind, was suddenly selected.

Swallow students who participated in the sharing meeting directly signed up to join the group. With the addition of Hui Hui and Wen Ming, the delegation of Norway quickly completed its tour.

So, the plan to change the continent failed, the third Schengen up ~ how I love Europe!!!

Member introduction

Huihui: Senior itinerary designer, with rich self-help travel experience, covering nearly 20 countries. Part itinerary design and hotel reservation for fjords in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Experts in whole course navigation and Jiaming navigator.

Swallow: a self driving route designer with excellent sense of direction and strong independence. Good at speeding under the premise of safety, good at driving at night. I like Belgian culture and food.

Civilization: join the group at the last moment, chef and driver in the whole process. The first self-help travel, but it is the longest children's shoes among the four people. Super love being photographed, figure occupying four cameras.

Nana: that's me. I'm a veteran player. I want to change the continent, but I still stay in Europe. I'm a self driving travel advocate, photographer and driver. I'm an expert in itinerary design, hotel reservation and air ticket reservation in the second half of Norway (Tromso and Lofoten Islands) and Belgium.

It is such a group of complementary small partners, formed the team of this trip, too many places left us crazy figure. Although this is the most arduous trip I have ever felt, although all kinds of difficulties have greatly exceeded expectations, although we have taken the wrong road, met on mountain road, car failure, blindfold and other unpredictable small conditions, although it has been rainy and sunny for days, we have successfully completed the journey in the way we like, tasting good food, enjoying good scenery and harvesting good photos.

As a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Nana and her friends have consulted a lot of information and strategies since April, adjusted and optimized their itinerary for many times, and finally determined their final itinerary at the end of August. Nana and swallow, due to limited holidays, only took part in the 15 day trip to Norway and Belgium; Huihui and civilization, who had plenty of holidays, also went to Sweden and Denmark. It's been a whole month since she came back from Belgium. Due to various reasons, Nana has not started writing. She is even wondering whether to record this trip or not, and how to record it? Of course, Nana didn't have nothing to do when she didn't think about it. Four cameras took more than 8000 photos. Nana and her friends recorded all the information of the journey with one shutter after another. They carefully selected the photos and tried to restore every bit of the journey. Now, the photo sorting work is drawing to a close, with more than 400 carefully selected photos showing what happened during the journey.

About insurance:

Norway and Belgium are Schengen countries. You must apply for insurance before you apply for a Schengen visa, as we all know. Here's a few words about Schengen insurance. In addition to meeting the requirements of visa application, you'd better take a close look at the relevant protection contents according to your own itinerary planning and season. For those who have higher requirements for protection, you can choose Wanguo travel diamond from America and Asia http://t.cn/Rt6tXDz This one is very well-known, with high insurance coverage and is very trustworthy. In addition, there is a more cost-effective insurance that fully meets the requirements of Schengen Visa: Allianz Schengen Visa insurance. This insurance covers everything except medical insurance, including property, travel delay, etc. the most important thing is that once a visa is refused, this insurance can compensate the visa refusal fee of up to 500 yuan, which can be said to be very considerate. Here is a link: http://t.cn/Rt6tW4n In addition, the official account of his master's "micro alliance" can be awarded 5-50 yuan discount coupons, which is quite cost-effective.

Cost statistics 1. Air ticket: this flight includes five sections, two round-trip sections, two sections in Norway, and one section of Norway Belgium country conversion. The specific cost is as follows: (1) round trip air ticket: Beijing Stavanger, Brussels Beijing. Beijing Stavanger only has flights from four airlines, including Lufthansa, Air France, Finn airlines and Nordic airlines. The ticket price of November this year is rising very fast. Seeing that the ticket price is getting more and more expensive, we decided to issue the ticket in the middle of May. Book tickets on Lufthansa's official website more than 4 months in advance, including tax of RMB 6999（ 2) Two sections in Norway: Trondheim - Tromso, Narvik --- Oslo http://www.norwegian.com/ Norway, a low-cost airline, need to buy a separate luggage ticket. In the middle of July, the first journey is 61.25 euro, and the second journey is 96.45 euro, equivalent to 1291.97 yuan. (3) transnational airlines in the Schengen area: Oslo Brussels, Brussels Airlines, which can be purchased on Lufthansa's official website, 615nok, equivalent to 661.73 yuan or more, totaling 8952.7 yuan. 2. Car rental: a total of 16474.64 (including three sections of car rental, gas, toll and parking), 4118.66rmb per capita (1) the first section: 9.25-9.30, 6 days, off-site return, Stavanger airport Trondheim airport, Audi A6 Travel Edition (automatic transmission and diesel), rent: 6623.81nok, toll: 853.35nok, a total of 7477.16nok (2) the second section: 9.30-10.1, 1 day, on-site return, Tromso airport Tromso, Toyota Prius, rent 1166.48rmb (3) the third section: 10.2-10.4, 3 days, the same city return vehicles airport, rent 1950.6rmb (4) refuelling: the first section: 1662.92nok, 1856.23rmb; The second segment was 79.44nok, 88.67rmb; The third segment is 437.02rmb

3. Accommodation: 13 nights, 3029.19 RMB / person, 233 per night, the accommodation is very cheap. There are three nights in Belgium, 508.774 RMB, 169.59 RMB per night; The total number of 10 nights in Norway is 2520.416, about 252 RMB per night. Because they all live in three or four rooms, the overall accommodation is very cost-effective.

4. Transportation: mainly including Norwegian ferry tickets, landscape train tickets, Belgian train tickets, subway tickets, a total of 1028.12rmb5. Tickets: fjord scenic spots do not need tickets. The only ticket cost in Norway is tramso's cable car, 130nok; In Belgium, only the comics Museum and the clock tower in Bruges need tickets, 8 euro each. 4 RMB. 6. Meals: apart from a meal of 300 RMB per capita in Norway, most of them cook their own meals, which are cheap and delicious (70 RMB per capita can be eaten very richly); Belgium's food is not expensive, there will be a big meal every day, the cost is not big. In addition, in the first few days, because I had no time to eat dinner, I often relied on instant noodles to fill my stomach. The overall cost of the catering part is 1726.8 RMB 7. Souvenirs: Belgian chocolate, mountain demon ornaments, Bruges small house ornaments, reindeer key chain. The total cost is 1741.46 RMB for 2 or 30 gadgets.

I organized a cost chart

As for car rental (the price has been described above and will not be repeated here), the original plan is to rent cars in two sections in Norway, namely 9.25-9.30 fjord section and 10.2-10.4 Lofoten islands section. During the actual trip, Tromso temporarily decided to drive to see aurora. Tromso added 1 section of car rental, 9.30-10.1, a total of 3 sections of car rental. The three-stage rental cars are totally different. From Audi, Prius to Yaris, they are getting smaller and smaller. Audi was chosen mainly because of the size of the trunk, four people and four big boxes. I was worried that I couldn't put them down. Practice has proved that Toyota Yaris can put three 24 inch and one 22 inch trunk in the trunk. The first paragraph: Stavanger Trondheim, 6 days, Audi A6 travel version of the European automatic car less, Norway is even less pitiful, basically no choice. Considering that the first section is mainly a mountain road, which requires high performance of the car, I checked n car rental companies, and finally ordered a relatively spacious and comfortable Audi A6 travel version (diesel) in Avis. It's very expensive to rent a car in Norway. The car with automatic transmission is more expensive. It's usually 1000nok + / day.

Second segment: Tromso, one day, Toyota Prius

The car rental in this section is purely accidental. Originally, we ordered the Aurora Group to see the aurora. As a result, Tromso continued to be cloudy, and the intensity of the Aurora was only 2. It was almost impossible to see the aurora. In addition, the cost of the Aurora Group is very high (800nok per person). In this weather, it's better to take a chance by driving, because the cost of renting a car for one day is only 1200nok, which is much cheaper than that of the Aurora Group. As a result, the temporary rental car. The Prius is hard to drive, the steering wheel is heavy, and the only advantage is that the trunk is big enough.

Section 3: Lofoten islands 3 days, Toyota Yaris

The Lofoten islands is a relatively small place, and the car rental companies provide even fewer automatic models. There are only Suzuki to pick up. When I pick up the car, it turns into Yaris. Looking at the car, I really don't have the confidence to put it into four boxes. However, after repeated trials, four boxes were successfully put in, and the space was still enough. Yaris is still relatively easy to drive. It has no other shortcomings except that it has four people and four boxes, and the power is slightly insufficient. I estimate that the displacement of this car is 1.4. When it comes to uphill, it's almost necessary to step on the accelerator to get up. After the turpentine, it slows down very fast.

About accommodation, this trip, a total of 15 days, 1 night to sleep on the plane, there are 13 nights to stay. Among them, 10 were in Norway and 3 in Belgium. Due to the tight driving schedule, except for staying in the same hotel for two nights in Tromso, the rest are one hotel a day. I have lived in all kinds of small wooden houses in Norway, such as sea view house, mountain view house, garage house, sunrise house, white, red, coffee color and orange. I really feel the life of the local people. There are many types of small wooden houses in Norway, including double rooms and multi rooms. There is a lot of room to choose from. Of course, 4-6 people are the most cost-effective. Compared with traditional hotels, small wooden houses are more suitable for living. It not only has the bedroom, the washroom, but also provides the living room, the open kitchen, the facility is complete. Norwegian restaurants are expensive, but supermarket prices are OK, especially as the main producing area of salmon, the salmon here is 20 yuan a Jin. Most of the time in Norway, we go to the supermarket to buy food materials and cook delicious food in the cabin. In such a comfortable cabin, in addition to cooking and rest, you can chat in the living room about what you saw and heard in the daytime, listen to the sound of nature in the bedroom, and enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of the window. Experience the living conditions of the Norwegians and understand the quality of life of this nation.

On September 25th, the departure day, Lufthansa A380 on the high road. How to start the car is a serious topic... I've heard that Lufthansa has a good ride experience. I finally have a chance to experience it. On the 10:30 a.m. plane, my partner and I met at 7:30 a.m. and checked in soon. After a big breakfast at Burger King, we went to the gate by car. Boarding pass printing: Lufthansa official website can print boarding pass 24 hours in advance. When you book a ticket, you choose your seat. When you print your boarding pass, you can fill in your passport and basic personal information and print it directly. When checking in at the airport, passengers with boarding passes will have a separate counter to check in. There are few people and the speed is very fast. Security, customs clearance, everything goes well. It's an indispensable item after going out of the customs. Dangling, dangling, and soon it's boarding time. The trip to Norway and Belgium has officially started. On the plane of Lufthansa, there are not many Chinese people. We are basically surrounded by foreigners. A380 seats are very wide and comfortable. What's more amazing is the plane meal. It's delicious. Later I learned that Lufthansa's meals are all supplied by South beauty. No wonder they are much better than domestic airlines. Lufthansa's turnaround time is usually very short, usually about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I am very worried about whether I can complete the turnaround in such a short time. Time has proved that the turnaround time is more than enough. Transfer in Frankfurt, according to the signs, about 10 minutes walk can find the transfer, the security team is not long, about 10 minutes. After the security check, you can walk around and get to the gate in five minutes. The whole transit time, about 30 minutes, is enough. There is still time to visit the duty-free shops in Frankfurt. The lovely bear of Frankfurt Airport my biggest feeling at Frankfurt Airport is "this is the kingdom of Lufthansa". Many aprons are full of Lufthansa's planes, so it's hard to find any foreign airlines“ Monopoly is the real monopoly. " We can't help but sigh. After the connecting flight, less than two hours later, we arrived at Stavanger. Stavanger is a small town in the south of Norway. Flights from China to Stavanger are limited and the airport is not big. After picking up the luggage, it's easy to find Avis's counter. After checking my Chinese driver's license, the clerk issued a car rental bill for me. I didn't need any notarization materials for my driver's license. The car rental list includes the time, basic price, wear location and other information. The number can be used to query the actual cost. The shop assistant didn't accompany us to inspect the car. Instead, we checked the condition of the car by ourselves. We rent a travel version of Audi A6. When we see a real car, it's really high-end. The car from the rental company is very new. It has just run more than 16000 kilometers; The car is in good condition. It's very comfortable to drive; The trunk is very big. There is still space after putting down four 24 inch boxes. After a wild shot, we are going to drive to the hotel. How to start the car has become a big problem. I tried all kinds of buttons, but the car still didn't start. When we were almost desperate, an uncle in Avis uniform appeared and I ran to him. With the help of uncle, we finally started the car. It's less than 20 kilometers from the airport to the hotel, but it's the most important way for us to adapt to the road conditions, car conditions and navigation. We didn't drive very fast because of the rain. There are many islands around Norway. Due to the inadaptability to the road conditions and navigation, we took the wrong exit many times and turned around many times... We finally got to the hotel safely. The parking lot was full, so we had to park on the side of the road. The shop assistant told us that the roadside parking can be stopped until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we need to move the car after 8 o'clock. Considering that we are going to meet with another team early tomorrow morning, we are expected to leave at more than 8 o'clock, so we go back to our room at ease. The room is not big. The bathroom and bathroom are public. I simply cleaned up and it was time for free waffles. I've had five meals on Lufthansa's plane during the day, but I can't eat the waffle at night. However, how can we miss this kind of cheap activity. Arriving at the restaurant, the waiter is baking waffles. The freshly baked waffles are delicious. After a day's running, we have a rest early.

On September 26, the preaching stone is the symbol of the brave. The theme of this day is the preaching stone. I believe you have seen many pictures of the preaching stone. Because of the high difficulty of miracle stone and giant tongue, we only chose the most difficult preaching stone in the journey of fjord. As a tourism landmark of Norwegian fjord, the preaching stone is located in the middle of Luther fjord. It is a natural giant stone, standing abruptly in the depth of the Fjord, with a vertical drop of 604 meters and a top platform area of 625 square meters. Stavanger sermon self driving route: self driving from Stavanger along Highway 13 37 km east to lauvvik, take a ferry to oanes, and then along Highway 13, there are signs to the sermon. The whole journey is more than 60 kilometers and takes 90 minutes. According to previous experience, it takes five hours for the stone to go back and forth, but we actually take seven hours. It took a long time to take photos at the top of the mountain. I played too high and wasted time. The best time to take a picture of a sermon is in the morning and in the afternoon. But if you shoot above the sermon stone, it's sunny in the afternoon. 2. Route: in other people's posts, I see a passage like this: "when approaching the destination, there is a wooden sign indicating that the left side is cliff trail and the right side is mountain trail. Most people will choose the left side of cliff trail, because this road to the sermon stone is easier to walk. However, choosing the mountain trail on the right will take you to the top of the sermon stone and overlook it. So be sure to go up the mount trail on the right side and down the cliff trail at last. " My experience is that in order to get the light for taking photos, we should go to the preaching stone first, and then go to the viewing platform above it. It takes 10 minutes to walk from the preaching stone to the upper viewing platform. It requires both hands and feet, but it's not very difficult. 3. Advice to avoid crowds: there will be fewer people at the sermon in the afternoon. When we take photos, there are few people. It's probably because of the backlight. 4. Restroom: there is no restroom along the way. There are very good toilets in the parking lot. 5. Supply: there are no shops on the way and no shops at the entrance, so be sure to bring your own food and water. 6. Parking: the parking lot charges 100nok, automatic charge, can use domestic credit card. In other people's strategy, the saying "stop at CYTS for free" was mentioned. The CYTS we passed were still a long way away from the entrance. Considering the energy saving, we didn't use this method to save money. 7. Temperature and clothing suggestion: we went in late September. The temperature is OK, not very low. In the process of climbing, you can wear a coat. At the top of the mountain, it's a little cold when there's no sun. Just a suit. It is recommended to wear gloves and use both hands and feet during mountain climbing. Shoes must wear good grip shoes, some places on the road are very slippery. On the way, I ran into a beautiful rainbow. On the way up the mountain, it was a steep stone road~

On the way to the sermon stone, the beautiful reflection ~ standing at a high place, a panoramic view ~ some people say, like Miyun reservoir, really? I'll take a picture with the stones piled by others ~ lying on the platform above the sermon stone, watching Luther fjord ~ it looks very dangerous, but it's actually a matter of shooting angle ~ panoramic view of the sermon stone, my favorite photo, shocking sermon stone

Due to the delay in the sermon, we had to rush to our house at night. There are nearly 170 kilometers from the sermon stone to lerdal, and you can walk along Highway 13. There is a section of ferry in the middle, rv13 - ferry (nesvik hjelmeland, 3.1km) - rv13. About ferries: Norway is a country with a very long coastline, and many sections need ferry connection. Therefore, special attention should be paid to self driving, and ferry time should be reserved when planning the journey. Generally, the schedule of ferry is fixed, and several ferry companies are responsible for operating different areas. Generally, the annual schedule and charging standard will be announced. Some ferries are seasonal and may be closed after summer. There are obvious road signs leading to the ferry, and there are special people to sell tickets and maintain order. Most ferries run within half an hour.

On September 27, Bergen missed the fish market, the epitome of Norway with stars. Today's theme is to have a seafood dinner in Bergen and watch "Bergen worth" in the epitome of Norway. Who knows, we missed both. Because we underestimated the difficulty of self driving in Norway, and we didn't set out at the scheduled time, encountered a circuit break and took the wrong road, we were forced to catch up with the night road on this day. When we set out, it was close to 9 o'clock, and the journey started smoothly. There was no other situation except that the roundabout still made mistakes from time to time. However, today we have changed to civilized driving. Due to the fact that we don't adapt to the traffic conditions, civilization is always very nervous when we miss the bus. We also sweat when we take the bus. The first stop is love Fjord, which is said to be the narrowest fjord. As we have no idea of this scenic spot, we are going forward according to the guidance of Huihui. I stopped in a narrow place and took a picture of the scenery and the car. The most successful group photo comes from here.

A picture on the way around the island in the tunnel

After a short stay, we went on to Bergen and I was the driver. Unfortunately, the No.7 road broke without warning... The No.7 landscape road is the nearest route to Bergen, and its breaking means that we have to go around for more than 100 kilometers. Pathetic... The location of the circuit breaker is near norheimsun town. Originally, it was arranged to stop in the most beautiful town along the way. We immediately did not have the mood to visit, the road is king. Beautiful scenery on the way ~ ferry terminal, missed a boat, need to wait another 30 minutes. Creative shadow group photo ~ find the way, detour, time suddenly delayed, more than 5 pm, we arrived in Bergen, 4 hours later than planned. As a result, the fish market closed, the cable car missed, leaving only Bruggen.

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and the largest and most beautiful port city on the west coast. It is located in the west coast of Norway on the steep fjord line, leaning against the harbor and seven mountains, leading to the Atlantic Ocean, is a beautiful harbor city. In 2000, Bergen was selected as one of the nine European cultural cities, showing its unique charm in theatre, dance, art, food, exhibition, etc. The oldest place in the city is wagen Bay, which is located in the north of the city. This is Bryggen, also known as the human house. In fact, this is an old city with many old wooden houses. Most of them were rebuilt in the early 18th century, that is, the wooden houses rebuilt after the fire in 1702. The style belongs to the medieval style. At the same time, brigan is also rated as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Today's small wooden houses are mostly changed into souvenir shops, traditional crafts shops, studios, cafes, seafood shops, bakeries and other shops. Bruggen busker here is the starting point to go to the cable car. Unfortunately, due to the time, we missed the Bergen people who are good at enjoying life. They enjoy the afternoon sunshine on the yacht ~ Bergen railway station. When passing by, we picked up a picture quickly~

As we missed the seafood feast, we had to eat at the fast food restaurant. By the time I left at 7:30, it was already dark. Night road is another way to catch up with night. From Bergen to Voss, a miniature part of Norway, the self driving route is about 120 km. Due to the delay of detour in the daytime, it was already dark when we walked this section of the road. We vaguely saw the small wooden houses with lights on opposite the fjord like stars. We were looking forward to how beautiful the scenery would be if we walked this section of the road in the daytime. I'm afraid most people don't have the experience of running on E16 landscape road. Although it's too late to take a picture of the beautiful scenery along the way with a camera, it's also very good to put down the camera, record the scenery in your heart with your eyes, and enjoy the time on the road. Navigation suddenly led us to a dark mountain road, in line with the trust in it, we persevered forward. Finally arrived at the destination, a wild mountain, no hotel we expected. Because we can't describe our location clearly, the hotel can't help us find the right way. Desperate to see a light on RV, I rushed to ask the way. With the help of the RV family, we finally went to the hotel. After two consecutive days of night travel, let's make up our mind that we must get up early tomorrow and set out according to the original schedule.

On September 28, Fromm flam midar Myrdal landscape train, waterfall, mountain view, cabin, arrived on time, bid farewell to the sunshine. On the fourth day in Norway, we gradually got used to the signs and road conditions of Norwegian roads, and self driving became more and more handy. Indeed, in such a country with many mountain roads, tunnels and islands, self driving needs a short adaptation process. So, after adapting to the road conditions, traffic conditions and signs, we finally got to the hotel before dark. Later, I discussed with my friends about the distance arrangement of self driving in Norway. I felt that it would be more comfortable to arrange about 200 kilometers every day, and I had enough time to take photos and sightseeing; If the time is very tight, the distance should not exceed 300 km. Once it exceeds 300 km, it will be really hard. And we basically drive more than 300 kilometers every day, and yesterday we drove nearly 500 kilometers... From this day on, we bid farewell to the sunshine in Norway. After a week, we have been in the shadow of clouds, the sun always refused to appear, always gray day. For me who love photography, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge and problem. All kinds of darkness and fog, coupled with the torrential rain in Oslo, I racked my brains to transform decay into magic. The blue sky and white clouds are very important for the scenery. I don't know whose luck is so Sui. I've never caught up with so many rainy days when I go out to play. I'm worried about people... Learning from the experience of the past few days, we started at 7:30 today. From Voss to flam, the whole journey is more than 50 kilometers, rv13-e16. You can find flam railway station along the road sign, which takes 50 minutes. We arrived at the station early, and finally had a leisurely feeling, taking photos and watching the scenery. In front of the railway station, you can take a ferry to the wharf opposite the railway station. It's a gray day. It's a roadside recreation area. Unfortunately, you don't have time to enjoy it, so you have to pick up a picture

Time inquiry: www.flaamsbana.no, www.visitflam.com/flam-railway2. Frequency: there are 9-10 frequency every day in summer and only 4 frequency in winter. See the official website for the specific schedule. One way ticket 260 kroner, round trip 380 kroner. Our flights are 9:00-9:40, 9:53-10:40. 40 minutes from flat Myrdal, 47 minutes from Myrdal flat, and about 15 minutes from Myrdal. 3. There are free toilets and souvenir shops at the station. If you buy 315nok souvenirs, you can get a refund. The waiter will remind you. 4. From Myrdal on the Bergen railway line to Fromm station in the heart of ayulan Fjord, this 20 km railway has an amazing railway landscape. Along the way, it passes through snow capped peaks, historic farms and wooden churches, charming fjords and deep canyons. After 8 stops, you will stop at the kjosfossen waterfall viewing platform and get off to take photos. If you are lucky, you will see two witches in traditional costumes dancing beside the waterfall. When we went there, we didn't catch up with the witch dancing. It must be too early for them to go to work. 5. Exclusive experience: if you have enough time, you can get off at the station on the way, walk for a while, and take the next train. There are not many people on the 9 o'clock train, and there will be free seats in every carriage. The windows on both sides of the landscape train can be pulled down, but it takes a lot of effort. Nana can't pull down the windows all the time. The train driver is very good. It's so tight. At waterfall station, the witch is supposed to sing here, but we didn't catch up.... At the end of the train, the beautiful scenery along the way of midar station, including fjords, peaks, cabins and friends, also arrived

The second stop is ayulan viewing platform. It's only 17 kilometers from flam to ayulan viewing platform, but it's a very difficult mountain road. Considering the time, we didn't drive to the top of the mountain, but stopped at the hillside to view. The scenery on the hillside of ayulan ~ a smooth journey always needs some twists and turns. Farewell to ayulan, we drove into the longest tunnel in the Fjord, and it was in this tunnel that our car was in trouble. Swallow students driving the car, fast driving in the longest tunnel, suddenly the yellow light in the center console flickers, a strange sign appears. In the tunnel, parking is obviously impossible, so we have to stick to it. Safely out of the tunnel, quickly stopped at the roadside. After consulting the manual for half a day, it was preliminarily judged that there was something wrong with the tire. We went to the gas station for help, and the staff of the nearby repair factory helped us to check the tire pressure, which was normal. It shows that the tire is not punctured. It is said that further testing will take 70000 NOK, so we have to go ahead with a stiff head. Civilization asked for help from a small partner far away at home. With the help of a small partner, we restarted the safety inspection, and the yellow sign finally disappeared. Later, the tire fault icon appeared again and disappeared after re detection. It seems that Audi's self-test ability is too sensitive. If there is a slight error, it will call the police. Our time has been delayed by this toss. Is it always an extravagant hope to arrive at dawn

Today's destination is Geirangerfjord. From Fromm to Geirangerfjord, you will pass the most beautiful village of highway 60, utvik, Nordfjord, jostedalsdreen, the largest glacier in the European continent, dalsnibba and flydalsjuvet. I don't know if it's the wrong route or for some reason, we missed the famous wooden church kaupangerstave church. And I missed it when I was looking for the glacier park. We follow the guidance and follow the olden Valley, but we never find the glacier park. Only later did I know that the end of the olden valley was the starting point for hiking to the glacier. Generally in summer, you can take part in this hiking route, which is a very exciting hiking experience close to the glacier. It's so gray, glacier. We didn't find the wooden church, and we didn't understand the olden canyon. We headed for the station. Because of the overcast weather, it is very dark before 6 o'clock. On the way to your residence, you will pass the dalsneba viewing platform. It is located 20 kilometers south of galenwell. This viewing platform can enjoy the surrounding snow mountains and the panoramic view of galenwell town and fjord overlooking the V-shaped valley bottom. There is a 5 km toll road from rv63 to dalsnibba. The car charges 100nok. At the end of the road is the parking lot, tourist center and souvenir shop. The viewing platform is built at the top of the peak, 1500 meters above sea level. Looking north, you can see the direction of the fjord. If the weather is good, you can see the prospect of galenwell village. Other directions are snow mountain plateau, downward can see the winding and steep mountain road. Due to time constraints, we gave up this viewing platform and went directly to the more shocking friedal suoway viewing platform. Located on the hillside of rv63, 4km to the south of galenwell, the famous photography spot is a good angle for photographing galenwell fjord and cruise ships. The cliff, which is more than 300m high, is one of the places for photographing Norwegian scenery. The snow mountain on the other side of the viewing platform reminds us that the galenwell stone on the signboard is here, so we need to walk down the path.

We finally arrived near the camp at dawn, and the man took us to drive up. There are 19 camps in galenwell Fjord, most of which are located on the hillside. Our cabin is located in the middle of the mountain, below is galenwell Fjord, opposite is the rolling mountains. The cabin faces east, and you can watch the sunrise in the morning. It's a very delicate cabin. My little friend is on camera. Two pictures of mountain demons are missing in front of me. They are taken in the souvenir shop of flam railway station.

On September 29, the road of eagles, the road of elves and the road of the Atlantic are the most beautiful roads in Norway

The fifth day of self driving is the climax of the whole fjord trip. The famous 63 and 64 national landscape road is a self driving route not to be missed when visiting Norwegian fjords. The road of eagles, the road of elves and the road of the Atlantic Ocean are exciting and spectacular. Actually, it's a good driving experience and sightseeing experience.

The cabin we live in is on the hillside, surrounded by mountains. Open the window in the morning, the fresh air comes. The small wooden houses in the mountains are red, white, yellow, colorful and well arranged. How happy it would be to live in such a cabin, open the window every day, see beautiful scenery and breathe fresh air!

Considering that the time of the ferry is 12 o'clock, we decided to go to friedal's Youwei viewing platform first, and make up some photos while the light is good. It's a pity that heaven is not beautiful, and there are always clouds. After adding some photos, we went to Eagle Road.

Today, we have a wonderful ferry, Geiranger valldal. On the way to the Eagle Road viewing platform, we passed the galenwell wharf, so in order to avoid missing the ferry, we specially checked the frequency of the ferry. As a result, the Geiranger valldal line was out of service, so we had to choose Geiranger helleylt, the ride time was advanced to 10:30, and the subsequent self driving distance also needed to be adjusted accordingly. In retrospect, I have checked the schedule, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to catch up with the night according to the original plan...

Orneveneagle road viewing platform: enjoy the classic scenic spots of galenwell. It is located on the roadside of highway 63 from the north side of galenwell to the direction of ondarsness. On the 620 meter high hillside, it is opposite to friedal's Youwei viewing platform. It takes 11 hairpin bends to drive from galenwell, which is quite exciting and challenging. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of galenwell fjord and the nearby seven sisters waterfall.

While taking photos here, I met a group of foreign friends. They asked us to take a group photo. What a beautiful group photo. Why does Shenma always feel that people and scenery are particularly harmonious? We are always like intruders

We photographed secretly~

About galenwell ferry

You can choose to take a ferry to visit galenwell fjord. There are two routes to choose from: Geiranger helleylt and Geiranger valldal, which take 90 minutes and 120 minutes respectively. Geiranger helleylt has been running for a longer time. On the day we went, the Geiranger valldal line was shut down. The ferry from galenwell to hellesylt is a good choice to visit galenwell. Along the way, you can see bridal falls, Seven Sisters Falls, Eagle Road and other heavyweight scenic spots. Norway's ferries can be driven up, the car + driver will be a price, generally double that of a single person.

The ferry provides a restaurant, a viewing platform and a toilet. The cabin is air-conditioned and warm. Along the way there are English, Japanese, Korean explanation, for god horse no Chinese!

The ferry is a great opportunity for drivers to have a rest, relax and devote themselves to the following driving.

Galenwell Wharf~

The break time always passed quickly, and soon we arrived at helleylt. Helleylt is a small town with many restaurants. We didn't have dinner for many days in a row. We were all very hungry. We found a pizza shop and finally had a hot dinner. It's delicious!

Pizza for lunch, lots of meat~

Here comes my friend~

The camp doesn't seem to be open~

After another period of driving, we finally arrived at the viewing platform of Elven road. Due to the off-season, all kinds of supporting facilities were closed. Souvenir shops, toilets, restaurants, all locked... Somewhat disappointed

Torollstigen (ladder of toroll the goblin) is a scenic spot that can't be missed in spirit road. It's a must pass of road 63. It's similar to Eagle Road. There are many hairpin bends, and some sections are only enough for one car to pass. When meeting, you need to avoid the opposite vehicles in the temporary harbor. At the top there is a large open parking lot with multiple viewing platforms. This viewing platform is located at the end of galenwell Fjord, circling up. The scenery is magnificent. Many photos of fjord postcards are taken here. The viewing platform is surrounded by straight rock walls on three sides, and several waterfalls pour down from different positions of the rock wall. In autumn, the waterfall gradually freezes, which is very spectacular.

There are two viewing platforms here. Be sure to go to the second viewing platform, which is the best place to shoot blockbusters! At the same time, be sure to bring a wide-angle camera, otherwise you can't take all the beautiful mountain road bends. Let's give you a reference: my 5D2 + 24-105, 24 end will be able to shoot the whole picture.

The wrong car photographed on the viewing platform~

The Beetle team~

Leave this viewing platform, finally ushered in the most exciting 64 highway. Although it was dark, windy and drizzly, we still enjoyed the beauty of highway 64. Surrounded by rocks and the sea, a road leading to the north, open vision, unparalleled beauty, deeply imprinted in our memory.

Highway 64, the "Atlantic road", has been rated as the world's top ten beautiful highways for many times. It is a 35 km long coastal highway from bide fishing village to karvag on avor? Y island. The whole highway spans between the island and the broken reef rocks and is connected by eight 8.72 km long bridges with peculiar shapes.

Among them, storseisundetbrua is the longest and most spectacular of the eight bridges on the Atlantic road. In 2011, the British Daily Mail described the bridge as "the road to nowhere". Because the designer twisted the bridge body into a certain angle by using visual error, when the car approached, it felt that there was no way to go.

There are also several undersea tunnels in this section of the road. When driving into the tunnel, the speed of the car will drop rapidly, almost return to zero, and then slowly return to 1000 rpm. With the unique tunnel smell and uncomfortable ears due to pressure changes, we are experiencing different driving experiences of the undersea tunnel.

When we got to the residence, the hostess left for something and left a note. We soon found the No.1 cabin with the light on. This is a two-story sea view room. The first floor is the living room, kitchen and toilet. The second floor is two bedrooms. I like Norwegian cabins more and more. I can't express it in words. I really love them very much.

A small wooden house with a light on~

A note of friendship~

On September 30, he flew to Tromso, the city of Aurora. He waited late at night, but missed the aurora.

On this day, we will take Norwegian airlines to Tromso, in order to realize a dream about aurora.

In the morning, the weather gradually clear, we imagine the night in Tromso is also a clear starry sky. The location of the Seaview Room was wonderful, so we spent some time taking pictures. The delay resulted in our speed of life and death at the airport.

Swallows and the beach~

It started at 8:45, an hour later than the original plan. It's nearly 240 kilometers by car. It takes four hours anyway. Swallow students driving at full speed, four small partners anxious mood, praying not to miss the plane.

On the way, you need to take a ferry and wait for the boat~

While waiting for the boat, have breakfast at the convenience store~

The weather turned fine and the scenery on the road was beautiful. There's no time to appreciate it, just go on. Finally, at 1:10, we arrived at Trondheim airport. In order to save time, we divided into two groups, one to return the car and the other to check in.

Because we were not familiar with the terrain, swallow and I, who were responsible for returning the car, couldn't find the parking lot of the car rental company. We drove in the wrong place and had to pay a 20nok parking fee. The car rental company has been describing it for a long time, but we still don't know how to get to their parking lot. Anxiously, we finally got around to the parking lot of the car rental company. After a brief inspection, the car is returned. At this time, 30 minutes to take off.

The four of us rushed to the security office. The long line was really despairing. Huihui explained the situation to the staff in a hurry. The staff said with a smile that "there is enough time left"

"20 minutes, security check + boarding, I don't believe..." the domestic section of the security check, even slippers off the belt, the more anxious the more trouble.

Finally, we passed the security check smoothly. We rushed to the gate. I couldn't keep up with you even though I hadn't run for a long time

"It's good to catch up," we gasped. After this toss and turn, we are all tired, this flight wholeheartedly sleep. Take off, talk to fjord in vain~

A great pilot

Temporary car rental, a bruised Prius.

Yesterday, the aurora index was only 3, which means it is almost impossible to observe. Considering the high price of the Aurora Group, we temporarily returned the Aurora Group and decided to rent a car to try our luck.

Avis provided the Prius. When we picked up the car, we found that it was covered with bruises. It was just terrible. In order to avoid disputes, we took pictures around the car and recorded its various scars.

Tromso is not very big. It's only 20 kilometers from the airport to where we live. After checking in, we decided to have a good meal! Strolling and walking in this tasteful Town, I wandered to the port, found a seafood restaurant, and found a seat near the window. Entrees, desserts, ice cream, big meat, salmon, no less.

The corner of the restaurant is very tonal~

Sweet, good~

Another dessert~

Ice cream~

The restaurant is very close to the wharf. The price is not cheap, but it is estimated that it is the same price in northern Europe. Four people ate 1198 NOK, 300 RMB + per capita. In fact, salmon is average. It's better to buy it from the supermarket when you have time. We Chinese have absolutely no problem cooking.

Outside the restaurant is the wharf of Tromso. The night view is not bad~

After dinner, return to the hotel and prepare for the long-awaited Aurora tour. Fully armed, gloves, hat, flashlight, tripod... Everything related to aurora can't be missing.

Drive to the Aurora Observation Point recommended by many people, set up a guy, and try to shoot at night. The temperature was so low that we had to wait in the car for the aurora. However, the sky is more and more overcast, and the poor stars are gradually covered by the clouds. After 12 o'clock, there was no aurora. We had to go back to our residence with regret.

In this way, we passed the aurora. I wonder if we can still see the aurora in the following Lofoten to realize this dream? Waiting for the aurora~

October 1 view in the rain, buy your own food and make your own dinner

We didn't get up early on the first day because we stayed up late waiting for the aurora. I had breakfast and packed it for the next day. Driving a bruised Prius to ask about the next day's bus.

Breakfast is very rich. Let's take photos of our friends by the way~

As I checked before, the bus left the station nearby at 6:15 in the morning. Tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll get up at 4:00

After missing Bergen's cable car view, I'm looking forward to the top view of Tromso. Because of the rain, we were worried about the safety of the cable car and chose to climb the mountain. It's raining and the road is slippery. We're not moving fast. After walking for more than an hour, it is still far from the top of the mountain. Desperate, we turned to info. The staff told us that it usually takes two hours to get to the top... After calculating the time, we had to go back.

My friends were not interested in the cable car, so I had to ride alone. Although it's raining, the view on the top of the mountain is still good. Fellow Indians, take pictures for me.

Tips of cable car:

11:00-16:00 Monday to Friday

Price: 130nok

It's about 10 minutes one way. There are restaurants and small
