Lazy Days in Norway

As I mentioned before there isn't a whole lot to do up here. At least not unless you are ok driving at least an hour and half or more and taking multiple ferries across the fjord to get to other parts of the country. Personally I am not all that excited to take the ferry back across the fjord when we are heading back to Oslo so we are just sort of spending our time here in Norway exploring the Jostedal area and relaxing after running all over the place in the UK for two weeks. After spending the majority of the day relaxing we did decide to drive around the lake to Vassenden which is another small town about a half hour drive away from the apartment. It was here that we tried to find a restaurant to have dinner since we were out. In Skei the only restaurant is the one above the Christmas shop, but they aren't open after about noon. In Vassenden the only restaurant is at a large combo location that is a grocery store combined with a gas station and a cafe. Surprisingly the restaurant was exceptionally fancy for being part of a grocery store and a gas station. They offer complete meals that are plated well and are very flavorful. In most of the grocery stores there is also the option to eat standing. After dinner we drove around the other side of the lake back to Skei which is the much faster route.
