Driving through the mountains and islands in Norway

From Kristiansund we headed west towards the Norwegian Sea making stops in small islands. The villages of Averøy and Kårvåg are situated on the first of them.

Entering the island from Kristiansund direction Averøy we (three people with the car) payed a toll of 161,0 NOK (approx.19,0 €).

We drove on small bridges, passing by bays, fjørds and islands, some frozen lakes and along the foot of some mountains covered by snow. Spectacular!

A stop to see a Stavkirke (stave church), a typical Nordic wooden church, south from Averøy was definitely worthy. Something very far from my South American and Central European concept of church.

Norway is a country of impressive natural beauties. To visit the country durin the summer, with more hours of daylight and higher temperatures, would be ideal.

Here my best HipsPics of the day.

Tomorrow the plan is to head north for stone-age carvings and waterfalls.

Oh! We still didn't give up on the northern lights :)
