Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Final post!!!

We made our way to Trondheim, checked out the famous cathedral and had sushi for lunch. Spent the night at Molde in a students hostel. Next day we drove through the amazing Troll road also knows as Trollstigen. Then we got the insanely touristy Geiranger. From here it was back to the boring E6 to make our way to Asker…passing Lillehammerand Oslo on the way.

The plan was to goto Vega early in morning and camp there for the night. The day before we camped at TjÃ¸tta, from where we would take the ferry to Vega. From Vega we would goto BrÃ¸nnÃ¸ysund to stop at Saras fathers house and also check out the famous hole in the rock…also know as Torghatten.
