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.
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!
This seemed like such a great trip! I hope one day to explore a country like you guys! I wish I hadn't been so busy so I could have read these sooner!
