In the Sognefjord

And a beautiful day it was.
Beautiful for walking around pretty Bergen, "the most beautiful small town in the world", according to my guidebook.

And perfect also for flying out of it and deep into the Sognefjord, home to breathtaking lascapes, and to a minuscule, almost invisible landing strip on the side of a rock. No flying in the clouds or away from a storm today, but once again excellent piloting skills deployed to land in Sogndal.

The second leg today brought us high up again, over the central mountain range, overflying a glacier and doing a 360 loop to check the small aircraft in the backyard of a house (where else would you keep one if you lived in Gerainger?). One last loop to note the score of a football match while overflying Alesund and finally we can land 400 km further north-east, in Trondheim.

A long way done but not even half way to our destination Nordkapp. In fact, we still get sunrise and sunset. And an Italian restaurant at dinner time. Tomorrow this has got to change.
