Southern Norway: Part I

So far, Norway has been a bit disappointing. We haven’t been very lucky with the weather. On day one, we couldn’t do the hike we wanted in Rjukan because of rain. The next day, it was pretty foggy and a bit drizzly on our hike to Kjeragbolten (boulder lodged between a crack in the mountain). Today, even though we were promised sunny skies, we got another cloudy hike to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). The sun came out right after we descended.

So instead of amazing photos of the Norwegian fjords, I have a few decent ones to share. Hope the rest of this segment turns out a little brighter.

Kjeragbolten - it's a little hard to tell from the picture, but there is a 2000ft drop below the rock!
On the way down from Kjeragbolten, it cleared up enough for a great view of Lysefjorden
Preikestolen - a very popular hike among tourists
