The three of us (Håkon, Stacey and I) have piled into Håkon's Audi to begin our journey through Norway. In this shot, we are leaving Trondheim and are headed for Molde, where a few of his friends live. We are about to go through one of the many tunnels built through the mountains. And boy, are there lots of mountains in Norway. When were weren't driving through tunnels, we were winding our way around hairpin turns that hugged the mountain sides. I thought roads like that were only found in the movies, but now I know they exist for real. Did I ever mention yet that Håkon is quite a speed demon? I mean, when you're winding through death defying curves at 20 miles an hour FASTER than you should be, it gets quite interesting. I must admit I yelped out in terror more than once. But it was happy terror. I love to feel like death is "just around the corner" -- or should I say "curve"? |
