Today our goal was the famous Pulpit Rock (Prekestolen) it took us a while, and more interesting roads and nice scenery to get there, but eventually we pulled into the parking lot and were confronted by hundreds of cars and motorhomes all packed together. We had read in our guide book that this was the most visited tourist attraction in Norway and the number of vehicles in the parking lot gave credence to that claim.

After squeezing our yellow beast into a tight parking place we got our selves ready for the 4 hour walk and 1000 ft climb to the top of this rock.

The track was like a New York sidewalk, people everywhere and all getting in each others way, thankfully not quite pushing and shoving but close.

The climb was steady rather than strenuous and after the allotted time we found ourselves standing on the top of the rock with hundreds of other people. The view is indeed spectacular, and the effort worthwhile.

After getting off the ferry at Netflaten we climbed up into the mountains on highway 580 and found a nice roadside parking place beside a paddock of fat fluffy sheep.
