Holiday

[juniperinflight]

I never posted about my holiday. Norway was wonderful, but wet: I only had three even reasonably sunny days. I started in Ulvik, then moved on to Voss and Balestrand. Ulvik is on Hardangerfjord, and I was lucky to be upgraded to a better hotel than the one I'd booked: I liked it very much indeed, and the view from my window was fabulous. I liked Voss least of the three: it's a town rather than a village, and the scenery isn't as stunning as at the other two, though there's a lot to do in the area.  In Balestrand I was in a much smaller hotel: it had fewer facilities than the other two but a lot of character, and some lovely art on the walls. I had some good days out in all three places. The high spot, though, was the transfer back to the airport - seriously! Because it was late in the season and I was the only guest that the tour company had left in Balestrand, they booked me a passage on the express boat rather than the usual coach transfer. And then, half an hour out of Balestrand, the sun finally appeared. I was able to do most of the trip on the deck, leaning into the wind and enjoying the views in bright sunshine. Absolutely brilliant.

If Dreamwidth had storage for images, I'd share some snaps, but as it is, it'll have to wait until I decide on somewhere to put my pics that's better than where I've been using.
