Beautiful Stavanger – a taste of what’s to come we hope!

Up early on a cold but brilliantly sunny day to take the ferry and bus to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) on the Lysefjord.  A 45-minute crossing, followed by a 30-minute bus ride to the start of the 2-hour hike that would take us to Pulpit Rock for what promised to after amazing views of the fjord.
