Vestnes to South of Orkanger – 218

Lattitude: 63.3

Today we caught the ferry from Vestnes to Molde, but this was no ordinary ferry. It was a super fast and super quiet ferry. It was an electric ferry! They are able to recharge the batteries while the cars are embarking and disembarking. The ferries are also super flash complete with cafeterias and toilets. All for a 20 minute crossing! Norway is very much about electric cars here. Most of them on the road seem to be electric, and there are charging stations everywhere. I’ve never seen so many electric Mustangs in my life!

Today was a day of following the main roads as there is no other choice. We had about 3 or 4 ferry crossings, a few long bridges and one 750 meter tunnel.

The day turned out gorgeous, bright blue skies, and Mike was down to shorts and t-shirts. To avoid the main city of Trondheim, we turned off onto quiet country roads which then turned into a dirt road. It was about 3.30pm when we found a beautiful spot just off the gravel road, overlooking a small lake. We decided to call it quits for the day and had an afternoon nap. 

Then it started raining.

I did a bit more plot-planning, and it seems like we’ve changed our minds yet again. 

We’re not quite at the midnight sun yet. Sunset is currently at 11pm, and sunrise is at 3.40am.
