A room with a view

Finally we get the room with a view . This Hotel Stalheim is historic and at least the Nazis have enjoyed the very same aspect over this valley at the top of a branch of the Sognefjorden. I can see why they liked it. The hotel is full of historical artifacts and antiques and is very warm and cosy inside - the breeze this am outside is straight off the snow !!!!!





We spent the morning at the Jostedalsbreen Glacier Museum after driving below one of the glaciers lower branches. This is the largest glacier in Europe and the video flyover was spectacular as we enjoyed Sven and Ingrids traverse over the top on skis.





Onto the fiord ferry with the bus and we spent a lovely 2 hours travelling between high steep mountainsides and very lonely picturesque villages.





Food here is a salmon lovers paradise - smoked, pickled, sliced, whole they are lapping it up, and as for the desserts it is safe to say that it is very hard to be restrained. Will be several kilos heavier on return.
