After spending 4 days in Amsterdam, Netherlands for HiveFest @jarvie and I flew to Bergen, Norway, where we met Jodi and Kimberly.

Our first adventure was to take the cable to the top of Mount Ulriken and hike around in the gorgeous mountains above Bergen.

Bergen
We then went into Bergen. We saw the port and did a little shopping for a little bit before driving to our Airbnb.

Ferries
We took a couple of ferries on our way from Bergen to Stavanger,
Day 2
"Alone in the Wood"
Our first Airbnb was in a cute house in the country, that felt like our grandma's house and it had rooms for everyone!

Driving to Stavanger
On our drive we went over bridges, through tunnels, on ferries and stopped at beautiful places to take pictures.

We pulled over multiple times to take pictures, it was so stunning and the water looked like glass!
Stavanger, Norway
Stavager is a really cute and colorful city in the south of Norway.

Day 3
Pulpit Rock
One thing that Scott really wanted to do is hike Pulpit Rock or Preikestolen. It was a really intense hike for me and Jodi since we were sick. It was worth it to see the cliff and the fjord from the top!

After hiking Pulpit Rock we drove through the countryside to our next Airbnb
We stopped at this restaurant for dinner. It was a great place! We had our own room with a great view and paid a lot for service out in the country.

Day 4
Sekse Fruit Farm
We had a great Airbnb on a fruit farm in Sekse which is right on a fjord so we had the best views! The apples on the farm were amazing!

Renting a car was the best! We could stop whenever we wanted and we stopped a lot. Route 7 from Sekse to Hagafoss is gorgeous!

I even worked at Channeling my inner Ansel Adams in Norway
Voringfossen
What a great place. The waterfalls were stunning and the fall colors made it even more beautiful.
Hardangervidda
As we drove to Hagafoss we got higher and higher and made it to the Hardangervidda or Hardanger Plateau, where the average elevation is 3,600 feet (1,100 metres).

Hagafoss, Norway
We stopped at the red church in Hagafoss and took pictures and wandered around it and the cemetery.

Day 5
Foggy Fjord Cruise
We woke up to a rainy day and were not sure how our fjord cruise was going to turn out. The rain was light and the fog added some great interest to the mountains!

View from the Stalheim Hotel
After the awesome cruise we went to the Stalheim Hotel to see the view of the valley from the back of the hotel. It is quite the tourist attraction and the even have hours posted for the tourists to see the view.

There were a lot of Tunnels, Teslas, round abouts and sheep in Norway!

Solneset Sheep Farm
Speaking of sheep. We stayed a sheep farm one night. It was so fun. We had fresh eggs, wandered around the working farm and to the lake in the fog.

Train ride from Bergen to Oslo
One of the things that I was most excited about was taking a train ride in Norway. We planned our trip so that we could take the train across from Bergen to Oslo, which is 7 hours.

Day 6
Oslo, Norway
Oslo was a great city. there is so much to do and see. We stayed at an Airbnb on an island, went to church at a 17th century cathedral, took a scooter ride and explored Frogner Park before going to the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History and then dinner at Smalhans.

Mass at 17th Century Cathedral
We took the bus from our Airbnb to the city center. As we were wandering around we found a 17th century cathedral and it was having mass in about 15 minutes. I am so glad we went. It was very neat to worship God with the people in Norway, even if I didn't understand the language and the mass was all new to me too!

Scooter ride through Oslo
@jarvie and I had a great time renting scooters for about an hour and riding through Olso.
Frogner Park
This sis a very big-80 acre park (320,000 m2)- with 212 sculptures by Gostav Vigeland. We saw the Monolith and Monolith plateau, the Bridge and the fountain all designed by Gostav Vigeland. They are impressive bronze and stone statues of people full of emotion!

The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History
After Frogner Park we went to to the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. This is a very cool open air museum that has buildings from the 12th century to the present that you can see up close.
Gol Stave Church
The highlight of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History is the Gol Stave Church which was built in 1212 (811 years ago) in Gol and moved to Oslo in 1884.
