Interesting fact. The city of Molde has two cruise terminals. Not a big deal as the city is small,…read moreunless you are trying to find a cab or catch a tour. When our 5.5 hour tour was unexpectedly cut to 2.5 hours, we decided to book something independently. Since we landed at the second cruise terminal, it took a bit of time for our guide to meet us. Others had to walk into town to find a cab or independent tours as this cruise terminal surprisingly had no services available. Otherwise, this was a very easy terminal to navigate. Get off the boat, show your ship pass and get back on. The walk into the main town and the main cruise terminal where you literally are in the City of Molde is about a 15-20 minute walk away. Check out the Kiwi grocery store near the terminal for some canned sardines, brown cheese and waffle mix.

We planned a 3 week trip to Norway including the usual itinerary from Oslo to Bergen. For the third…read moreweek we found this hotel near Ålesund and decided to take a chance since we hadn't heard much about it. It turned out to be a hidden gem - literally the highlight of our trip. I was worried it might be too remote, however there is so much to see in this area, our 6 night stay was too short. The hotel itself is simply one of the nicest I've stayed in. The wonderful staff and general manager Benthe make you feel like guests invited into their cozy home. The chefs are amazing with a different gourmet 4 course meal every night. The location, the people, the accommodations (and the homemade cookies) were all truly exceptional!! (Ps. This is the first time I've ever bothered to post on Yelp - I was so impressed!)

Visited the beautiful old Skodje Bridges with Trond from Local Trips. He dropped us off on one side…read moreand then met us after a short walk crossing over two bridges and through a tunnel. The Skodje Bridges are a series of masonry arch bridges that were built at the request of a couple of school teachers in 1880. The construction started in 1911 and was completed in 1922. They are the longest masonry arch road bridges in Norway. Due to their age and weight restrictions, they are limited to pedestrian traffic today. A newer steel arch Straumsbrua, Straum Bridge, was built in 2004 to accommodate vehicles crossing the Skodjestraumen. A nice stop for a short walk along the way to Trollstigen Road.
