Norway--July 25

Tuesday, July 25 (Left Alesund and drove to Sogndahl)

We left Alesund and missed the first turn for the car ferry, but we were able to wind our way back. After ferrying acoss we saw more Norwegian “alps,” and we went through some very long tunnels (one was 3 ½ to 4 miles). We drove next to fjords and through mountains with glaciers. We wound our way to Sogndahl where Chuck’s Grandpa Rein’s family lived. We did visit a church near our hotel, and felt very fortunate to find the family headstone (Reinen was the name before immigrating to the USA).

One fjord after another

Typical countryside!
