Jumping in the Fjords



Our last day in Norway was spent driving back near the airport. We were going to drive until we were about 3 hours from the airport and hope we found a good campspot. Along the way we ran into some very furry yaks, lots of cows that were very intrigued by us, a little local market, a long wiggly bridge, and fjords. I had been dying to jump into a fjord since we'd gotten there. Joshua found a little sign pointing to swimming a mile away, so we followed the random windy road and it led to a fjord with a little platform to jump off of. Perfect spot. There were a bunch of kids out on the ledge jumping in. Joshua, surprisingly, went up and hopped right in. Then the kids started counting to 3 in Norwegian so I had not choice, on 3 I jumped in too. The brackish water (part salt water part freshwater) was quite refreshing. We jumped in a few more times and dried ourselves in bit of sun. I was so smiley after that, it seemed a great little cap to the end of our trip.







That night after some driving back and forth we found a great tucked away campsite. It had a river nearby with a bridge over some rocks someone had built. We explored the area a bit, had dinner and wine, read books, and enjoyed our last bit of vacation.


Next morning we headed into the airport and flew home, via over Greenland which was stunning!

As soon as we landed back in Seattle we hopped a cab home, Joshua immediately! ordered tacos and we passed out. Great trip, great to get to spend such a large chunk of time with each other.


Greenland!
