Well that turned into an adventure!

I think I've used that title before. We always seem to get into some kind of unplanned adventurous situation! 

This time, we went on a bike ride to a couple of waterfalls, and then parked the bikes and hiked in the rest of the way. It turned into quite the hike!

First stop along the way was this pretty little church...

Surprisingly, the front door wasn't locked but there was nobody there. So we went inside and had a look around.

Pretty colorful interior!

Heading into the forest.

We ended up parking the bikes just after this.

Scenery along the way.

Bridge crossing!

The water is so clear!

Me, at Cascada Lazaru Waterfall.

Cascada Lazaru was just okay, but the path continued on the opposite side of the river so we don't know if there was a better view further up. But we couldn't cross the river, so we don't know.

We retraced our steps to the path that went to the Cascada Maria Waterfall.

The logs were wet and slippery, so we crossed together holding onto each other!

Spring flowers.

At first, we thought this was Cascada Maria, but the path continued on.

Big rock sticks out above the river.

The path continued with cables to hold onto.

And rickety wood bridges.

And ladders!

When I got to the top of the ladder, I took a video of Ruth coming up behind me...

Cascada Maria.

Strange type of mushroom fungus thing.

Practicing for some Norway hikes!

It was a good outing! The weather was perfect for hiking and biking. And we were the only people on the trail.

In the afternoon, I did some more Norway research. Max needs to get a transponder for the toll highway system in Norway that is linked to the ferry system. Ferries are expensive, and there are a lot of them. So it turns out that if you get a toll transponder and link it to the ferry system, you can save 50% on some ferries. Otherwise, if you don't get a transponder, the system will photograph your vehicle licence plate and send the bill to the registered owner. That's fine, but it's an inefficient system, and you pay the top price. 

Normally, they can mail the transponder to you in advance but we won't be stopping at our dealer in Germany until we are finished our Norway trip so we don't really have a mailing address to use. But I found out that you can also get Norway transponders at the ferry line when we depart Denmark. So we'll do it that way.

Ruth made a delicious red thai chicken curry for us all last night.

Heading out to another waterfall today!
