 sim1 Says:  After the nice cup of tea it was time to challenge the weather outside. Hahaha, yeah, yeah, I know! You don't need to say it, it is rather strange to wear a miniskirt on a day like this! But when I left Selje it was nice weather and as I was feeling optimistic, so I had... 

 sim1 Says:  After a beautiful drive of 32 kilometres from Selje we arrived at Vestkapp. Vestkapp is on the northernmost tip of the Stadlandet peninsula and my travel guide book wasn't joking when it predicted that there would be some fierce winds at this lookout point. When I got out of... 

 sim1 Says:  Selje is a small village with only 1500 inhabitants, but it is a pleasant little village. Just outside the village is a campground. It is very small and very basic, but it is clean and that is the most important part. There are some stores in Selje that provide you with all... 

 sim1 Says:  It was really cosy inside the lighthouse, a perfect location to have a cup of tea and waffles. At the lighthouse they also have a small selection of books that you can buy. They are all about lighthouses and this region of Norway, they looked great, although a bit pricy in... 

 sim1 Says:  The fun thing is that you can go inside the lighthouse to have a coffee or a light snack. And besides that it is also a hotel! So if you like you can stay here overnight :-) I have no clue how expensive it is though, but here is a phone number where you can get more... 

 sim1 Says:  Aaah, finally at the lighthouse! To me it didn't look really like a real lighthouse, but it certainly is. The light is on the other side of the building at the edge of the cliffs. A logical place of course as this is where the ships can see it. As the lighthouse is already... 

 sim1 Says:  Halfway up the hill you can see the Kråkenes Fyr (Fyr means lighthouse is Norwegian). You can't reach Kråkenes fyr all the way by car, you have to park it at the bottom of the hill and walk your way up to the lighthouse. I was happy to have an umbrella with me as it... 

 sim1 Says:  The wind was blowing, it was raining slightly and the waves crushed into the cliffs at the Kråkenes fyr. I love the see on a windy day, when the wind blows in my face. Only wish those raindrops wouldn’t come done :-(Kråkenes is located on the northern point of island of... 

 sim1 Says:  It is time to say goodbye to Selje and the peninsula of Stadlandet. Today we are going to Kråkenes, where there is a lighthouse and a beautiful stretch of coast. I almost changed my mind in going there, the sky was cloudy and threatening with rain. But I still had hopes it... 

 sim1 Says:  How could I have done this??? Picking a campground next to a golfcourse???!!! Eeks!!! Hahaha, I guess it was fate, lol Åke loves golf, so there was no escaping going for a couple of rounds of golf. I didn’t golf at the time myself, but I had a good time joining him on his... 

 sim1 Says:  But Åke had more good food in store for me; a yummie tasting dessert! :-)) This is warm pineapple from the wok, with whipped cream on the side. Mmmmmm, makes my mouth water! 

 sim1 Says:  From Ervik we drove back to Selje, were we had a relaxing evening and a great dinner. Who says camping food can't be good??! It tasted delicious. Fish on the menu today, salmon grilled on the barbeque. When you are in Norway you can't escape trying out some good fish. And I... 

 sim1 Says:  Just south of Vestkapp, on little side road from the main route, you can get to Ervik; a tiny little village on the west coast. At the end of the road is the graveyard and chapel of Ervik. There is something mystic about this place. The cemetery is overlooking the sea and is... 

 randhorn Says:  If you are going to Selje from Oslo and don't have a car of your own, you can take a bus. There are express buses leaving Oslo three times daily called NORDFJORDEKSPRESSEN. The trip takes 9,5-10,5 hours, including a 30-45 minute stop at Kvam in the Gudbrandsdal valley where... 

 sim1 Says:   In case you want to bring any electrical appliances with you, here is the system Norway uses: 220 volts and 50 Hz. It is a round pin attachment plug (see picture)An adapter will allow you to plug an appliance designed for one type of outlet into another type of outlet....
