Driving in the mountain wonderland
Yeah, mountains are part of driving longer stretches in Norway. You can take the long road following the coastline or cross over the mountains.
In late winter, in April and with good weather, the mountains are fastest. And prettiest.
Of course, snow removal when the snow layer is 2 meters thick or more means you must stop your car and climb up to get a view of the mountains. Or have a look down at the main road on the right here.
You do not stay there long. When the base temperature is minus 22 degrees Centigrade, any windy breeze makes the real temperature even colder.
The heaters in the cars sold here is made to handle it. I remember one time my first car, a Datsun, had a car heater that nearly did not. It was December, and minus 34 degrees outside.
Going outside when it is that cold, every nerve in your skin and breathing system cries out: "Seriously?" "This is not real!" "Get inside, you maniac" "Cold. So cold. Freezing cold. Unbelievable cold!"
Hot food and coffee never taste better than after a walk in the cold. Even a short one.
But it is worth visit Norwegian mountains under snow.
