Our trip to Norway - part 3/3

For the first part, click here.

Trollstigen - an impressive bendy road on a really steep cliff

At the bottom - the road blends in the cliff

Atlantic Road - a road that follows the West coast,
with many bridges and tunnels making a way across small islands (or just rocks)

The Lofoten islands - the last part of our trip

The Lofoten islands are home to a huge cod fishery

Cods are dried in open air for 3 months

Whatever my mom says, the smell is horrible
(fish are fermented, not just dried)

Fishermen built their cabins on top of small rocks in quiet fjords

These red cabins have a spectacular outlook

Reine - a very pretty village overlooked by mountains
