For a change we woke to blue skies and the warmth of the sun! With a spring in our step we made our way down to our local shops in Jørpeland. One of the supermarkets in this delightful little coastal town was located on the harbour and the views around made our food shopping experience a little more enjoyable.

On the main road heading back up to our campsite we happened to spot a sign saying golfbane and decided to investigate. For those of you that know us well, we were once avid golfers and played as often as we could and despite carrying our clubs around on our travels, have yet to have taken them out and use them! This could be our opportunity 😉 Continue reading Preikestolen Golf Club→
I had spent most of Thursday morning replacing the caravan brakes and the friction pads in the hitch stabiliser. The caravan was serviceable again 🙂 We were ready to roll.
In the afternoon we had driven out sightseeing and to spend some, unsuccessful, time fishing for tea in the Sorfjorden. The road was bordered by the fjord on one side and countless kilometres of fruit trees on the other. Every now and again there were fruit stalls with honesty boxes.
On our long trip back from Bergen on our mission of mercy to get replacement parts for the caravan we decided to break up the last part of the journey by swinging by the Skjervsfossen waterfall that was mentioned on the Hardanger National Tourist Scenic Route. We seem to be turning into waterfall enthusiasts!
On paper the plan for the next two or three days was simple. We’d amble down toward Preikestolen Camping to hike up to Pulpit Rock. We’d avoid tolls and ferries, and wild camp to save some cash. Rather than backtrack all of the tunnels on the E16 we’d take the FV7, part of the Hardanger Tourist Route, which climbs over the mountains and then meanders its’ way along the north shore of Hardangerfjord before joining the 13 road south.
One of the reasons for choosing our campsite was its location on the local bus route into Bergen.
If you intend to spend a few days exploring the city, then a Bergen Card would definitely be worth purchasing. At NOK 260 for a 24 hour adult card, NOK 340 for 48 hour card or NOK 410 for 72 hours it entitles you to free travel on buses in Bergen and the region, as well as the light railway. Plus some free or discounted admission to museums, attractions, tours or cultural events. Continue reading Bergen→
