As every morning, is up early to leave before the crowd of tourists. Program the hiking of the Buarbreen in Odda. It lasts 3 hours, there are 4 Km to arrive at the foot of the cooler of the Buar language. The path is really great because there are passages on boards, suspension bridges bridges or boulders to climb with a rope. So that is fun to climb, we saw not the time that we are already happened. The hike stops for us meeting point of two waterfalls because to continue further on the glacier, we need mountaineering equipment. It therefore arises on a large rock to admire the scenery.  

The glacier is huge and yet we see only a part of the great glacier Folgofonna. It’s amazing, it seems little face all this ice. With these bluish and these cracks, this glacier is fantastic and moves me. It turns and it remains silently observing the landscape until there is too cold.

The afternoon, we go to Tyssedal in the Museum of hydraulics (Norsk Vasskraft og Industristadmuseum). We meet here the communication officer who accepts with pleasure to an interview on hydropic energy in Norway. This very nice lady perfectly answered questions of Nicolas, and then invites us to visit the Museum which is located on the site. There is a turbine… Then the room with all its buttons and finally we look at the tools used to repair that are really huge compared to the average much, what makes us laugh. It must not be easy to use everything. To conclude the visit I takes me a large electrical cable on the foot of the diameter of a fist and I can tell a big IEA, it is sure that it is not the 10 square it.

After a good night on the camping area as it woke very yoyo to go to the preikestolen because it is a very tourist hike. There are 5.5 km and 400 metres in altitude (maybe even a little less). Is a super plan to park without paying. At that time he did y person on the way too cool it quickly up the steps decorated with large stones.

In one hour it is at the top after false hopes to climb and descent. On the preikestolen it has three people who take pictures it’s great. There are also two tents with people who have spent the night here but who are still sleeping. It is photographed, the brightness is perfect.

It also made the acquaintance of a gentleman who is interested in the project in the air to the Earth. He is an Englishman and he can help us by providing us with contacts or much later if one goes in Great Britain. Nicolas also asks questions about the brexit and he gives us his opinion on what has happened in his country. It is very interesting s to tackle such a topic of news with a person who faces is really concerned by this vote.

Then the crowd began to arrive. We go up a little to have a view on the preikestolen and fjord in the background and we contemplate the landscape. It looks as people who play with their drones to be photograph or explore the cliff.

When one goes it is hoped that our car will be still there and that the local pound or the police not will be not passed before us. On the way we cross a couple of french pensioners who challenge us to find out if they are soon arrived. Discussing with them they tell us that they have arranged a Partner to sleep in. Exactly like us. They are on vacation for a month and go there where the wind takes them in the North of Europe. Given the name of the parking application for night which lets us know what are the parking lots where you can sleep. Come down the police car stops beside our car. Nicolas short and borrows in the car, the police told him could not stay there and that he must leave if she puts an almond. Has close it call and was even not paid. Take the road in the afternoon to mount in Odda and we stop at the waterfalls on the side of the road. The mountain drips everywhere it is impressive all this water. The evening arrived in the parking lot of hiking the next day we understand that we cannot sleep here because the parking lot is empty. Nicolas made however of the resistance. Fortunately, the owner of the House allows us finally to spend the night here. Again it was too much of a chance. The afternoon we stop for a small flight for Nicolas to launch nicostarten, I make him the nav.

The evening washing hair for me in the forest. Happiness. Today we say that one begins to really be developed;).

This matte big fat morning until 6:30 take a breakfast rapido and will park at the parking. There Nicolas fills on the spot of paragliding at the top of the hike. Storing too nice tells us that there are shuttles from basejumpers and wingsuit often hyped and that they can show us the deco. At this time the shuttle in question stops, asked the guy to ride with them, and he tells us that he has no worries. On short search our bag and for pay parking and store says “Oh don’t worry for the parking. Too cool 15 euros saved! The shuttle filed us 200 m above another departure of the hike. The driver tells us to follow t^he 1 guy front, but it sows from the first climb in the stones. They are fast these baseux. Good we’ll have to fend alone. The rise is a bit hard because it’s the first big hike of the trip but what reassures us is believed to start per thousand meter in altitude but in fact it has only 500 metres. Are mounted between the small lakes, there is still snow by location is super beautiful and increasingly there is not many people at the moment, is too cool.

Once at the top, it must go down a little and walk on the ice to reach the Kjeragbolten, the famous Pebble stuck between two cliffs and overlooking the Lysebotenfjord. It’s a bit ouf walking on the snow in summer and even more crazy to say that one is in a sort of crevice between two blocks of cliff. The arrival is spectacular because just in front of us, there are Pebble. It is too lucky because the small mist that hid a little fjord rises and we can see the turquoise blue of the fjord. Wow, there’s even a rainbow!

People, (a bit crazy) are going to walk on this rock to take a photo. I’m too afraid but Nicolas goes there.

Then it hurries back to unfold our sailing as the mist that rises is actually, in the language of paraglider thermal dating. This is the time to prepare for take-off. Just the time to equip themselves and time changes. So fill our material and we go back down a little. Time returns to the beautiful, it redeplit then our sailing below and get started!

Navy: “there is also a small audience who is there to watch us take off. ” Many do not know paragliding and are really happy to witness this moment. The flight is incredible! 1000 meters of gas it is very impressive! The fjord under our feet is a bright blue and we can see the reflection of the tandem in the water. It is really crazy to say that we can see the fjord in this way. It seems everything in between these huge cliffs. From up there is also seen fish jump to the surface to eat. Missed us more than a small fishing rod and could catch the evening meal. Also I want too much Nicolas departs from landing because if ever the wind more pushes us, I fear of falling in the water and that looks really very cold. It passes waterfalls and it’s already time to land. But as there is no official landing, we will ask the air of nothing in a campsite. Nicolas made warm above tents and guys down a bit, flippent lest one breaks everything. Once all the relieved applauded camping ashore. » NICOLAS: “we deplit the tandem for the second time in the day after having unraveled two three knots in the lines (ok a quarantine) and the when even a two-seater glider that is large enough to unfold mainly on a small unofficial above the fjord takeoff but good was a good breeze front, it lifts the veil and it is left for the flight including both dreamed.» And the magnificent views of the fjord, the cliffs that surround it and stunning waterfalls. The flight is so beautiful that there is no figure for not to lose one meter of altitude and enjoy to the maximum. A salmon we Hi and say that to the nardiablack with a drizzle of olive oil it would as a letter in the post unfortunately Marine who has well enough the gopro and the camera could not take the cane fishing. As usual for these flights landing is chosen in flight after takeoff and anyway once it took off it must be landing somewhere. It is therefore with joy and good humour that be invited to drink on the green grass of the camping of Lysboten. It is the first time that one has a place as nice to fold the sail. Folding and hop it will look for a shuttle. »

This too awesome flight performed, is told that it is now part galley, which will start because one must go back stop vans or cars that come here are full. Second stroke of luck of the day, he spends a private shuttle 16 places that offers us back for free. Go hop on monte. On the way the guy is very talkative and happy to discuss with Nicolas while me I do a little dodo. This day really exhausted me, but it is far from over.

Back in the parking lot, is expected to pay because store it has changed, but not yet a good surprise it let us go quietly. It n said that there really wants much luck today. After ate, at the time of doing the dishes one closes the trunk of the car and surprise, key remained indoors and there a self-closing. It is the drama because the double key is also in my jacket, which remained in the car! They say while it takes breaking a window but it’ll be very annoying for the rest of the trip… Fortunately our neighbour camper has tools. I managed to drag my hand out the window ajar and I open the door. Hathaway will make a good dodo.

It was decided to go through a spot of paragliding spotted by Nicolas to see if its the fact. We struggle a little to find take-off. Finally after ringing a home the gentleman gives us all the information we need. Need to park at the parking of a hotel mount a little walk and fly to the bottom of a fjord. OK it takes bi gradient, our bags Kortel, our Altitude sunglasses and en route. Come on take-off, I find that there is wind. We hesitate to equip themselves and then finally one goes and then not finally goes and hop we put our harnesses out sailing and it’s gone. And here how say it is chauud!

Navy: “sailing we shoot from the rear and we back but it does not advance. My feet no longer touch the ground, I can’t do anything is at the same time I see a rock at my right hand that is likely to hurt. At this point I think I would prefer falling into trees. Fortunately the wind pushes us and we took off whew! The flight lasts not long but it’s still amazing to fly in Norway. Also hot landing is done on a parking space next to a short truck rich in emotion. More barely touching the ground that it is water issue by Norwegian Syrians it was really too unlikely but awesome as the first day. »

NICOLAS: ‘after a magnificent climb there finally take-off which overlooks the first great fjord seen with a wonderful brightness. Takeoff is super beautiful but there is a little wind and it is a bit through. We therefore say that it is pointless to unpack everything a small splash and then after two minutes of descent you say that in fact if. Unpacking the equipment, I hang Navy and made a face veil inflation. There it is done well snatch and you end up 5 meters behind but with the veil over the head. I put a little bit of brake and we took off. This is the first flight in the land of the fjords, is super nice and it’s really worth. There are not a lot of wind at the time on “crab” until the landing. I wanted to land on the football pitch but a guy in blue makes me great signs.  I think while it tells me that it is forbidden to land on this ground, but then, we learn that it was just super glad to see a paraglider. At the time we choose a small parking lot side who will be our airstrip. Fortunately, Navy tells me that there was a small van below because to two lines closely we took. Landing is easy enough because just put above the parking lot because the wind is so strong that we go down without advance. After landing a ten person comes us and ask us questions. These are in fact are Syrian refugees who are super happy to see a paraglider and especially to be in Norway. This is an incredible opportunity to meet to learn more about their journey from the Syria and how they landed here. They are super cool, very interesting and they invite us to eat at home at night but must be back on the road to go to hike the next day so we begin to stop without knowing if it will work. After a decade of cars, two young Norwegians in a red Audi stop and we go back to the point of take-off. This is perfect!!! Talking with these two students, they tell us that there is a system of loan by the Norwegian Government to enable them to receive “monthly pay” during their studies (approx. 1150 euros). This loan may not be repaid if they graduate. Big pressure! ».

Come by boat * at 1 p.m. in Norway, the first thing that it does is very original, yes we call local emergency to determine if you can go show the Nicolas tick bite. Response of a doctor no it is not worth unless you are sick:-are you sick? Nicolas reply:-not so no doctor for you receive. Good we are reassured, we leave quietly picnic on a highway area or very curious Norwegians come squarely to watch in our trunk. They are worse that the Germans said so. We visit Mandal, first village recommended by the guide du routard. It looks nice but is not phew not more. Us what you want to see it is a village at the edge of water with lots of small red and white houses. There was only asking because by continuing to roll, landscapes surprise us more and more. There is water everywhere (too great free showers). In the form of seas, lakes or rivers with small islands of forests, it’s superb!

On the road, it was decided also to go through a spot of paragliding spotted by Nicolas to see if its the fact. And hop first tandem flight in the land of the Fjords (see article). After our flight, continue to roll direction instead of hiking the next day: departure to the Kjeragbolten. The road is sensational and I weigh my words! There are small lakes everywhere, that goes then that goes down and there are also large bends it is truly splendid. We stop make photos, there are Whitecaps everywhere. Short is chosen a great place to park for the night and be in the starting blocks for the hike of the next day.

Just lying means noise around the car. At the beginning you wonder what it is (I thought it was fireworks for the victory of France against the Ireland) but not understood with the sound of a Bell that in fact they are sheep who is concerned to tap our alloy wheels. Too much bling bling these sheep!

* We took the Fjord Line to Hirstshals – Kristiansand through site aferry. The crossing lasts 2 h 15 and departure is at the time.

Skagen and specifically Grenen need to walk a few minutes on the beach to get to the point most northern Denmark ou the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. There’s not much to see as this place is rather symbolic and above all very touristy, but we regret not to have done so because the very rough seas lets guess that waves come from the left and the right. There are also two different colors in the sea which could make us believe that the turquoise blue sea is the North Sea and the more dark blue sea, the Baltic Sea (good agree it takes a little imagination to think about it). On the beach, it is sought amber which is a fossil tree SAP prisoner in a pebble and back on the beach by the waves. With Nicolas there are many stones that are in our Amber but as we don’t really know what it is, it is quite possible that our loot either in does that single pebbles.

Then it went to the lighthouse in Hirsthals. There is a lot of wind at the top so one goes for looking for a place to plan our arrival in Norway.

Evening Nicolas cooking us rice (said like that this episode seems silly but actually it is very funny). There are enough hungry so done us to cook half of package rice 500g mushrooms (which is huge, even in Thailand I believe it has not ate so much rice in 1 day two). In short we are left with a pot overflowing with rice, before the Germany-Italy euro match while all others are beer.
