The Atlantic Road

The Atlantic Road is a 5 miles (8 km) stretch of road on the midwestern coast of Norway. It begins in Kristiansund and stretches west, roughly along the coast and connects several islands with the mainland (such as it is in those parts). It's windswept out there but also quite purdy and great for tourists who just want to see a bit of majestic nature before getting into their snug campers or RVs and drive home. If I had to live out here I'd be hitting the proverbial wall within a matter of days. Most of Norway is, sadly, an acquired taste...

Ok for a quick visit, but can you imagine actually living here?

Some inland parts look quite nice.

This motif must be in a million tourist pictures and videos in Germany, The Netherlands and Japan.

Naturally, I was skeptical of the Atlantic Road.
