The bus ride from Geiranger to Åndalsnes was absolutely spectacular and one of the most amazing things I have experienced in the whole trip, including South America.
It was breathtaking scenery the whole trip - glaciers, snow capped mountains, crystal clear rivers and huge waterfalls, vibrant green pastures and forest scattered with dashes of yellow and purple from the various flowers growing.
Åndalsnes was a fairly nice little place, however upon arriving most things were shut so I was forced to camp on an extremely bumpy piece of ground on the side of the road.
