23.06.2024, Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway

One of my favourite places in Norway! The wind was so strong, but the ocean, the sky, the mountains, the seagulls, the greens and blues... everything was just breathtaking.

The Atlantic Ocean Road in Norway

[quotesandzensome]

Atlantic Ocean Road, Vevang, Norway

Borrowed from Wikipedia ~

This road is 5.2 miles long. The route was originally proposed as a railway line in the early 20th century, but this was abandoned. Serious planning of the road started in the 1970s, and construction started on August 1, 1983. During construction the area was hit by 12 European windstorms.  It also used to be a toll road ending in 1999. The road is preserved as a cultural heritage site and is classified as a National Tourist Route. It is a popular site to film automotive commercials, has been declared the world's best road trip!

Storseisundet Bridge, Norway

Norway's picturesque Atlantic Ocean Road crosses eight bridges as it makes its way across islands, islets and reefs to link the island of Averøya with the mainland Romsdal peninsula. The longest of them, pictured here, is the Storseisundet Bridge. This bridge, surrounded by ample natural beauty, is also an architectural marvel. While being constructed, the bridge and the workers constructing it endured the region's unpredictable weather, including 12 hurricanes. Still, the result of all that hard work is this marvellous work that enthralls visitors to this day. With a dramatic curve and a sudden incline, Storseisundet Bridge creates an illusion of suddenly disappearing into the ocean, surprising drivers and making them skip a heartbeat. Its construction showcases the brilliance of Norwegian engineering, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty.

My best friend and I moved in together with his closest friend from his MA program, and while I had met her before (the friend; my bff is a man), we hadn't spent much time together because I've never lived away from the West Coast (and only two years out of the PNW) and she's never lived outside of North Carolina and only briefly visited the PNW once, when she went to Portland last year.

It's been a delight to show her around the PNW and realize we need to explain things that are just sort of omnipresent in our lives. The bff and I were casually griping with each other about having to run an errand to Trader Joe's at an inconvenient hour, and were telling her, "it's okay, you can stay in the car and avoid the people if you want" and she was like "NO I MUST SEE IT, I'VE ONLY HEARD OF THEM" and nearly ascended to another plane when we showed her around the store.

The bff and I grew up in the same town in NW Washington (him for his first 18 years, me from 9 to 19) and he lived in Bellingham and Seattle for years before he went to NC for grad school (I went to the SF Bay Area for mine, a very different experience). Both of them are hardcore coffee aficionados, but he struggled with the different Coffee Ways of the South, so for the true PNW experience they want to tour various indie coffeeshops next.

Also, she adores Kaidan in Mass Effect and we were like, oh, is your passport up to date? We could take a trip sometime and show you your boyfriend's beloved English Bay. It's very beautiful :)

her: O_O

me: Actually, it's worth going to Vancouver BC for its own sake as well, it's truly spectacular. We used to go all the time as kids.

bff: And Victoria!

her: O_O
