Our wettest tourist attraction visit ever

July 31st, 2010 admin No comments

We just had to share these phots with you, this is the well-known Tvindefossen waterfall close to Voss. On the way between Oslo and Bergen, we stopped and looked at these tourists visiting the famous waterfall Tvindefosen.

The waterfall is a 150 meter drop, it was raining a lot this day and it was very much water in the waterfall. Like the tourists, we went close up to the fall to hear the roar of the waterfall and feel the immense power of the water. We’re very sure most of them got very wet, at least we did. Very wet. Luckily we had extra clothes with us so we got on our new dry clothes when we got back in the car. Very wet, but very fun getting so close to the waterfall this day :)

Tourists stopping inside tunnel for photographing

July 23rd, 2010 admin No comments

As we drove from Oslo to Bergen two days ago, we just saw several tourist that had parked their cars, getting ready for a photo shoot, inside a tunnel.

Maybe it sounds quite strange and dramatic? Well, the story has more to it. The tunnel we´re talking about is the famous Laerdal tunnel, more than 25 kilometers or 15.2 miles long, the longest road tunnel in the world. The tunnel has three stops where tired drivers may stop and the stops is lit with a blue light making it quite interesting.
