19/06/08 - Keeping out of the weather.

Today a good day to have a 'Sunday', as the weather was not inducive
to getting out and about :-(

The road followed the Tourist Railway Route which goes from Åndalsnes
to Dombàs. This gave us the chance to check out another impressive
old bridge - the Kylling Bridge. Built between 1913 and 1921, this
rail bridge is not the longest or highest bridge we have seen, but
considering the period that it was built in, and the technology they
would have had - it is quite an achievement, and definitely very
picturesque compared to some modern concrete monstrosities.

We turned off the main road and drove over the hill into the beautiful
(although wet) Skamsdalen Valley. It would have been a great place to
get out and about to explore, but instead we parked up for lunch, and
huddled up in blankets to try and keep warm, before falling asleep for
an afternoon nap. Even Kerryn went to sleep!!
