Days 11 and 12

I will present these days together because first of all they were a weekend and because on the 11th we didn't do almost anything. As we were behind with the sleeping we took advantage of the fact that it was raining and we over slept...we got up around 1 o'clock Saturday and we decided to go and check out Stavanger. Despite the rain that would have been a great idea if the shops wouldn't have closed around 4:))...so, what can I say...that day was reserved to rest and interacting with our hosts.

After all the stories we have heard and photos we had seen about Kjerag we (mostly me and Alex) decided that it deserved to take a chance with the weather and try to get there. Unfortunately for us next day, was Sunday, even worse...everything is closed!!! So the only possibility to get there was by car...car which we had to rent of course.

So we went to bed with the conviction that we had to get up there...next day, as I was the only one with the driving license on me, I went to the Stavanger Sola Airport to rent a car...I rented a nice, pretty new VW Polo and around 1 o'clock we were on our way.


Did I mention the fact that when we left it was raining...small detail. If you saw the pictures from Preikestolen you can imagine that climbing those kind of rocks is not recommended on rain...but we did not give up, so a few hours later and over 150km we were at the base of the mountain. The premises were not in our advantage...rainy, fogy and cold, and despite all the warnings from the people coming back after failing to get to the top we still did not give up...and that is how we began climbing the mountains, barely seeing the route mark.







Of course when we were high enough the fog was so thick that we just could see 2-3m in front and we had to give up. At the end we were wet to our bones and we had to drive back home in our underwear...we were even imagining what story that would have been if the police would have stopped us and we were all half naked:))

Even if we did not see the top at least we can say we tried.

Love u. Take care.
