Finally, a couple of days with some blue sky and warm weather, so the wife and I sat down with Google maps and planned a road trip.
Decided we would go West first, then head inland for some mountain roads, before setting the course for home.
First destination was "Byrkjedals tunet" a group of traditional build timber houses. The stay was great and our dinner later on was amazing, our compliments to the chef. :bowdown:
Day two we set off to "Lysefjord", a fjord known for its famous place - the "Pulpit rock" where Tom Cruise went in the Mission Impossible movie. There is an outlook point situated high in the mountainside where you can look down into the place "Lysebotn" in the end of the fjord. Amazing views. By the end of the day, we arrived at our second stay over, "Bykle Hotel". The Staff was so friendly and welcoming and made us feel "at home". Our room was nice and tidy, and we loved to sit on our own little porch and look at the mountains. Again, we were so satisfied with the food we got served in the restaurant for dinner. Nothing left on our plates, and we might have over-eaten a tad
pps: We still managed to drink a beer each from the local micro-brewery, tasted wonderful!
Day three we set course for "Haukeli", a small place where the roads connect East to West. This mountain road is also known to be closed a lot during winter due to snow blizzards. We crossed over and into the valley and the scenery changed from scattered birch trees to lush fields of corn and hillsides covered with forests. The temp also went up, so we had to put the jackets away and ride in our t-shirts instead. The rest of our round trip was just about enjoying the scenery and taking in the smells of riding through nature on a motorcycle - awesome!
The old Spyder ran great without any issues at all, and I am so happy with it. It caught a lot of bugs, but it got a good wash and makeover as soon as we got home and had unpacked.
Here is a screenshot of our route. Start and finish is at the red peg.
I also made a video of the trip:
