Along the way,they breathe in the clean air and 1 the vastness of nature. They are constantly surprised by the new and exciting views,whether they've been massive mountains or coastal landscapes.
Luss and Carlo are getting closer to the coast. The weather here is known to change suddenly. They are in luck---the sun's come out. And from the comfort of their camper van,they have a panoramic view of this perfect summer's day. Norway is a land that has an abundant amount of water. The coast including all the fjords and coves,measures over 20,000 kilometers.
Norwegian churches have their own unique architecture. They are called Stave churches and characteristically feature overlying towered pitched roofs. To protect them from the cold climate,they are covered with wood shingle. The dragon heads are to ward off demons from the house of God. The small-scale churches originated in the time of the Vikings in the 12th century and only a few remain.
After all this time in nature,Carlo and Luss are ready to explore a big city. They travel to the well known harbor city in Bergen on the southwest coast. Most of the city was destroyed in a series of fires. Only one quarter of the old-style Medieval town of Bryggen remains. These 2 building has been listed as a cultural heritage site by UNESCO. This mixture of past and present gives the old town its charm.
