Sleeping in, Finally! (June 26)

After a string of early mornings, we were finally able to sleep in! We woke up to beautiful sunny weather and ate breakfast out on the hotel deck. The rest of the day was spent driving along winding roads with switchbacks and hairpin turns up to Alesund, with stops at the glacier museum, a few lakes, another fjord cruise, a walk out to a beautiful viewpoint, and lots of waterfalls. Throughout the driving so far, we have seen most ‘normal’ cars (ie. what you’d find in the U.S., including trucks and SUVs), not the typical small European cars.
