Road Trip to Hellesoy

Yesterday we went on a little road trip to Hellesoy. The sun was out and it is beautiful here. On the way out of town we went to the Bergen food festival. We enjoyed some Norwegian pancakes with jam and sour cream, crepes also with jam and sour cream, fresh cheese, and bratwurst wrapped in a tortilla like bun and sprinkled with fried onions-oh yeah super good. After tasting some food and walking around, we drove out to the open ocean. We went over many bridges and tunnels, island after island until we reached the open ocean. We planned on fishing from the point, but unfortunately the wind was too strong. We drove back to Crystals place to watch the sunset from her balcony. The last ships of the day were leaving port and a paraglider was being pulled into the air by a boat. The paraglider would detach from the rope and catch the jet streams to float over the fjord. Mariella and I walked down to the fjord this morning to soak in the rare sunny day. Included are some photos of the nearby waters.
