Sundalsøra - Lom

The best day until now. I left Sundalsøra early and had 3 very special treats to go. The first part was a very nice mountain area, but the Trollstigveien was most spectacular. This is north of the Geirangerfjord and had only eleven turns to get up all the way but these are very spectacular, especially for busses. The road is so narrow and so steep that it is very difficult to pass or to turn. Meaning the busses had to go back and forth to get up or down. In your own car this was a terrifying sight as they came down again and very close to your own car. On top the panoramic view was rather spectacular with many mountains and waterfalls in close range.

From there I went to the Geirangerfjord, one of the most visited, especially by many cruiseships but also from the car and from the many panoramic viewing places it was a perfect afternoon. Geiranger itself though was way to busy with tourists, mostly older ones, that I had to travel to Grotli which is on top of a mountain and from there took a steep and long road to Lom where my day ended.

As said the best day so far.
