The Urnes Stave Church

So we left a wet Valdalen and headed towards our next location, the Urnes Stave Church. Just before we could get going another warning light in the car about Oil, so we stopped off near a garage (which was closed) and ended up buying oil in a local supermarket!

The rain was fairly persistent and so by the time we arrived at the port to take the ferry across it was already getting darker, so we decided to find a hotel and venture there next morning.

The hotel we stayed in was rather odd, no TV in the rooms and they were very expensive. People looking at you strangely as though we were somehow from another planet, not just English. However,  it was right next to the ferry! Next morning things were looking slightly brighter and we got across.

It was quite fantastic and we were extremely impressed with how they had managed to keep it preserved. And so onto Bergen…
