Day 2
Now that we're actually in Norway, let the awesome roads and driving commence!
The morning view from the holiday looks promising!
First order of the day was to wash the cars and remove all the sea salt from the ferry crossing.
Looking much cleaner now.
Just as we're loading the cars with all our luggage, a message on the group chat caused a few issues. One of the passengers in the group was seriously ill and had been up all night with diarrhoea and vomiting. They weren't sure they could continue with the journey and the party considered going back home. And in true Top Gear / Grand Tour style, we left them behind
Later in the morning after a trip to the hospital, they were diagnosed with norovirus and whilst unpleasant, is over very quickly. After the worst of it was over, they drove straight to the next hotel via the quickest route.
Meanwhile, everyone else met up ready to start driving.
And now with Miguel, six cars strong. Well, five really with one member staying behind due to the above sickness.
Heading out of Kristiansand, we head west and hug the coast.
One thing which we all quickly noticed was the great condition of ALL the roads, pretty much zero potholes. However, not all good news as whilst Norway has probably the best roads in Europe, they seemed to have the lowest speed limits!
But the scenery is stunning, so we didn't mind too much.
These roads were fantastic to drive.
One road did however, turn from smooth tarmac to loose gravel, for around 2-3 miles.
But soon enough we were on our way to Stavanger.
Our first ferry across the fjords.
These ferries are cheap, i mean, real cheap, like under €10.
Under €10 for a view like this.
On we go.
After Stavanger, we went through the
Ryfast Tunnel which is 14.4km long. Much childish antics took place here,
Arrived at the hotel.
The brighter amongst you may only count 4 cars and not 5, well Marek found a great spot to stop and fly his drone.
A well deserved beer.
Or two.
Ok, 3 beers.
Everyone parked outside their little chalets.
Final stats for the day
