This year's tour of the west coast - day two (part II)

I had not gone far, however, when I came upon even mightier views. The kind that makes your jaw literally drop and your mouth go gaaaaah. At Skjørbakkane was a fjord landscape with several arms stretching out, surrounded by mighty mountainsides. Here and there, a bit of green confirmed that there were people living and working on the land. It was the kind of pretty you wish you could bottle and take home with you.

Driving along the fjord towards the village of Loen. There's a somewhat famous hotel there, the Alexandria, which operates a gondola to take you up the sheer mountainside. Sadly, the gondola was closed for repairs so I'll have to take it next year instead. I suspect I'll be whimpering in a corner the whole way up.
