Tourists stopping inside tunnel for photographing

July 23rd, 2010 admin Comments off

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.
