We left the Farm Camping in Veen to set of to Voss. We missed a tour yesterday so we need to get on to track to arrive on time in Sto on the Lofoten where we booked a Whale sighting Trip. Making up for the lost time, we took the E39 to stavanger. From there we took the 13 towards Voss. The goal is to reach Dombas tomorrow to get on track.
In Stavanger we drove through the Ryfast Tunnel. This tunnel is the deepest sub-sea tunnel with a depth of 292 meters.
The drive is very steep and took us more than 20 minutes to cross. Also it is cold down there. The temperatures can change very much during a day in this way, and change for more than 10 defrees Celcius.
The Scenic route on Rv13 with a lot of curves and turns brought us with the first Ferry in Hjelmenland. This Ferry makes a quick turn when leaving the port which caused my Motor to Fall over. With the help of the Ferryman, we pullen him right up. When leaving the Harbor, stand on the other side of your stand to give some counter weigth. No damage luckally.
Now and then we stopped for Gas and Coffee. You pay the coffee first and then take it yourselfs. It is possible to buy a small cup and fill a large cup, which we find out when we thought that Stork Coffee meant Strong Coffee, but was a large cup, spilling the small cup. Also all payments for tanking is done at the Pump electronically.
After switching at Odda to the Rv 550 to have a more scenic route, we took the last ferry for the Day at Utne to Kvanndal. We did miss the Butunnelen with the iluminated roundabout but we needed to make up some lost time. At Gravinn we are back on the 13 towards Voss.
In Voss we acquired a camping spot near the utility building and put up our tent.
We met Andrea whom was driving around Norway as well. She told us that within one hour all the shops where closing for 2 days because of the upcoming holidays. We realized that we needed to get some grocceries so we set off to get then quickly. Only at the third shop we managed to get some food for the upcoming days. There Andrea was big life saver, because also restaurants were closed during the holidays.
After a night full of laughter we got to bed for out trip to Dombas the Next day.
