We found a good free camping spot in Flesberg for our first night in Norway. It was the parking lot of the city park full of historic farm buildings. A beautiful spot and we were the only ones there. From there we drove west over, under and through the mountains. Roads in Norway are amazing - lots of steep switch backs going up or down a mountain, suspension bridges crossing fjords, and very long tunnels going under mountains and fjords. I think the longest tunnel was 11 km. The views are fabulous. On top of the Hardangervidda Mountain Plateau there are no trees so the lakes and meadows go on forever. Norway is full of very dramatic scenery.

 |
| This is typical - high bridge over a fjord then into a tunnel through a mountain. |
 |
| We also encountered roundabouts in tunnels. The GPS does not work so you better know which exit you want. |
