Vågstranda opposite Molde

And again, one more trip to Norways. Hard to find regions where we have not been. But that's also not necessary. Along the Norwegian shore, the ocean hits the mountains - that's what makes that country so spectacular.

Romsdalfjord is a quite known area, located right opposite Molde. We visited my parents who checked in a typical norwegian cottage, a bit uphill, and therefore with a nice and wide view over the fjord.

Some actions were about to come up. First thing: a little road trip, first to Kristiansund, followed by the Atlantic road. Not to forget the Bremsnes Cave.
 

The Atlantic Road is a must see. It's so uniquely constructed. And always so spectacular to see or cross it by any means.

Helsetnakken, starting from Vikebukt, was climbed by us and we were rewarded with those lookouts. Too bad rain was pouring down heavily, with temperatures dropping down to 5 degrees. No other chance than commencing the homeward journey.

And on the way to the airport, there still was some time left for strolling around Alesund, despite dizzle every now and then. Somehow the city seems to be empty, but the fish & chips were awesome.

Nürnberg at night

It was that one night of the falling stars. But some planes are crossing too...

Cycling Bayreuth

Next cycling tour came right away. That route was on the list for long, but never done. Not yet! Now I found some time, got a navigation system and planned the route off the main streets.

Tüchersfeld must be on the route for sure. It's so much off anything else, not many people come to visit. I stopped there, just to watch, like all the other times before, and kept on going.

Bayreuth suprisingly did not have much to offer. The city centre itself is nice, but quite small and maybe I just didn't find the spots to go. So I just went through some street, had a look and went back to the train station. I was thinking of riding back home, but thought then it's fine to take the train too.
