Tunnels, Bridges, Fjords, and Waterfalls

Driving to Bergen from Oslo and then on to Stavanger, we were thrilled by the many waterfalls. Traveling in this part of Norway requires driving through long tunnels some of which are more than ten miles long. And of course there are the bridges. The engineering it took to build this transportation network is breathtaking. Some of the pictures are from a short cruise we took while staying in Stavanger.









We drove across this bridge. It really does exist solely between two tunnels. You exit one tunnel, drive across the bridge, and immediately enter another tunnel on the other side. We were told they build the bridge before finishing the tunnels.






These goats are dropped off her in the spring and picked up again in the fall after they have fattened  up on the little bit of grass available here. As nimble as they are there is no way for them to escape. Tour boats stop by and throw them food to bring them close for passengers to get pictures.
