A rainy day and a long walk. Norway, Part 2!

Last night at the hostel I made a friend from France - Serge. So today we went exploring with another couple that was staying at the hostel. We walked along the fjord (click on the word ¨fjord¨ for a definition) from Åndalsnes to Isfjorden, a maximum of a 5km walk. The couple we were walking with had to turn around to catch their train on time, but Serge and I decided to keep walking. So we did. We walked and walked and walked. It was really nice, and the views up the fjord were spectacular.  After a short bus ride and a lot of walking, we decided it would be a good idea to start heading back. We realized how far we had gone and decided to try our luck at hitch hiking instead of paying the expensive bus fee. After about 40 minutes and no sign of a bus to take us even if we decided to take it, a car picked us up. 
I got some really spectacular photographs and can now say I have hitch hiked!
