Norge

Only another 100kms (or 10 Swedish milles), over the mountains and through a tunnel lies Norgè where we arrived in Mo I Rana, a somewhat industrial town at the top of a fiord on the day they were experiencing their first winter storm. Not being ‘the season’ the information place was shut, but a friendly young lady in the bookshop helped us with an itinerary for the day. The drive in the car all along the fiord to where the ferries depart to other islands or different parts of the mainland was spectacular and afforded us a look at a small part of Norway, including their interesting letterboxes. The fiords are much more like the Marlborough Sounds than the West coast fiords, except that with the storm there were numerous waterfalls also.
