While I was in Oslo, me and my friend took a night train to Stavanger. Norway has no doubt the BEST TRAINS in Europe. We were each given a blanket, inflatable pillow, eye covers and also ear plugs. I remember not paying more than 50£ for a return trip. My initial plan was to head to the Kjeragbolten fjords but I did not realise that there were no public transports after summer!! I was so disappointed :( Thank god we had a backup plan!! The Pulpit Rock is still open accessible via public transport, so that is where we headed.
On the day upon arriving in Stavanger, we decided to head straight to the habour to take a ferry then a bus which will bring us to Preikstolen. We took the earliest ferry over! So our mentality is that we want to walk fast so that we won't capture too many people in our photos.
The hike to Preikstolen wasn't a tough trail. It takes about two hours per way but we manage to hike up faster than expected.
This was took on the Pulpit rock. There were so many people up there!!! So we actually formed a queue just to take a picture without capturing anyone. It was funny when you see some people trying to do funny poses at the edge!!
Stavanger was a little small cozy town. We stayed in a hotel which includes breakfast. Was good but we splurged to stay in a hotel as there wasn't many hostels in the city centre. The breakfast kinda makes up for it.
That beautiful street just behind our hotel!!
We could have took the bus but we were trying to scrimp and save in Norway. (Was so expensive) I ate a burger king meal for almost £12. Still couldn't believe it, In Norway, I've seen 0 beggars. That explains how wealthy they are.. hmm
Our walk took about 2hours!!! We were really slow and we went to a huge supermarket while heading back. Those journeys made my legs so strong!! I don't even feel any aches in my muscle anymore hahahaah!!
Hope you enjoy my little post!
Till then!
