Words and pictures hardly do justice to the incredible landscapes that we saw this weekend near Molde which lies 7 hours north of Oslo, by car. Imagine Yosemite Valley, back home in California, then imagine dozens of similar valleys lying near eachother. Over each mountain you can see even more beautiful waterfalls, cliffs and rock formations sweeping down into forests and meadows. And some of the valleys are filled with crystalclear snowmelt or open up onto vast bodies of water. This is the Molde area, in a nutshell.
Nils' parent were kind enough to host us and we spent two days hiking straight up steep hillsides, climbing over boulders, exploring caves, and enjoying wide vistas.
Nils' parents weren't the only ones with a grass roofs. This traditional building style is alive and well. Speaking of green roofs, check out this article in the New York Times.
