Preikestolen in Norway

     A friend posted pictures of his trip in Norway, he is a seaman, and the places he was showing in social media were places I visited in 2010 after our internal meeting in Sandefjord, Norway, that time I was still with the Norwegian company Jotun Paints. Upon seeing his photos, made me look at photos of my own.

Almost at the peak of Preikestolen

     Hiking to the peak at cold temperature was arduous. Seeing structures like this was scary for the uninitiated.

The peak

     It was exhilarating to be at the highest peak overlooking the fjord. Some of my friends could seat at the edge of the cliff.

I could only peep crawling to the edge

     We had to hike for about four hours to reach the top. It was cold even with the sun shining brightly.

The nicest path on the way up

Otherwise it's all rocks

     After our hike, we had to spend a night at Stavanger, the jump off point to reach Preikestolen.  We spent going around the small city to see some interesting spots.

We stayed at Stavanger Inn

It was cold that even the bars provide blankets
