Day 12 - 10/07/2013

Day 12 Near Odda to Svartevatn 4151 miles since leaving home. 240 miles today + 2 Ferries. Our day started great; lovely sunshine drying us and the tent out and the stunning view of a lovely fjord in front of us. We hit the road but stopped after a few miles to check out a spectacular waterfall. The views and the roads were again phenominal. Unfortunately my Go-Pro SD card failed but I only lost all of today's footage - hopefully the rest is intact. Similarly we went for 2 ferries that didn't exist so we had to do an awful lot of back-tracking and additional road mileage, but no bother as the scenery was very beautiful and well worth seeing. Still, think we're done with inland ferries now - next boat will be from Kristiansand over to Hirtshals in Denmark. Nothing booked but hope to cross Friday lunchtime. Today's mountain passes and 10's of magnificent tunnels were great for cooling us down as it was a very hot day. We didn't make it to Kjaragsbolten today but we'll check that out tomorrow. Similarly I was looking for some amazing cliffs I saw on the Internet but I was probably going too fast and missed them. Camped-up in an off the beaten track yet busy campsite - nothing special here. Tomorrow will take us back into the big city and away from all of this beauty. We will both miss Norway - probably the most beautiful country either of us have ever seen, something special around every corner.
