Arctic Circle Expedition – Day 18 – Balestrand – Day 2!

Monday Aug 21, 2023

Hi Gang! My three words for today are I LOVE NORWAY!!! Seriously, this area is so beautiful I could summer here every year. Our weather luck was similar to yesterday. Started off pouring down rain in the morning then cleared up and was beautiful. We had a really amazing day today. I’m not going to write much and let the pictures do the talking. Plus I’m tired and it’s late! Lol. 

But a quick summary of the day… we rented a car and drove all around the fjords from 9 AM to 10 PM. We rode on 7 different car ferry’s. (You need them to get around all the fjords!). We dodged tons of sheep in the road (I thought I was back in Ireland!). And we traveled via car ferry on the most beautiful fjord we’ve ever been on called the Naeroyfjord. It’s so beautiful it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site! And on top of all that, we saw a beautiful rainbow! 

Tomorrow we head back to Oslo and stay for one night before flying back home on Wed. Happy Monday to all!
