Episode of Lysefjord hiking
Tomo & Chouchou decided to go to Lysefjord in Norway for hiking. To go to Lysefjord, we can go by ferry from Stavanger. We went to the local travel agency to register the group tour to Lysefjord. We booked the group tour to Lysefjord for the next day. But the travel agency cancelled just before the departure. Then our travel plan became mess. Our main reason to come to Norway was for Lysefjord. We also made our all itinerary before coming, and we were planned to hike only on that day. There was no more other days to go and hike in Lysefjord. We must go to Bergen next day. We really wanted to go to Lysefjord, so we decided to go to tourist information for the last chance. We asked the tourist information about the Lysefjord hike and the transportation to go to Lysefjord and to come back on the same day. They said that we must take a ferry and a bus to go there. They also said that we must take next ferry which would leave in 5 minutes if we want to hike in Lysefjord. We quickly asked the ferry terminal. They told us very roughly. Anyway we didn't have time so we ran toward the sea. We luckily found the ferry terminal and jumped to the ferry ! It was very sweating and tiring to catch a ferry.
Ferry arrived at Tau, then we took a bus direction to Preikestolen. Then, finally, we arrived the starting point of Lysefjord hike. There was an information at the starting point. They can keep our big luggage at the entrance. We asked how long it will take to hike Lysefjord to the staff in the information. They said it would be about one hour. So we were relieved to know that we have enough time to catch the last bus.
It was the hike to climb up the big rocks. A rock was very big so it was difficult for small Tomo to reach and climb with her short legs. Unfortunately Tomo took more time to hike. Moreover, Tomo had just started to hike and she was a beginner. So Lysefjord hike was difficult and long for Tomo. Chouchou had hiking experiences so Chouchou could hike faster.
One hour passed so fast. We realized it was impossible to hike in one hour. We hadn't seen any fiord/fjord landscape yet. We started to worry if we can see fjord landscape before going back down. So we made so much effort to hurry to climb up. We got used to climb rocks and we climbed faster and faster. Finally, we could see Norwegian fjord ! We could succeed to climb until the fjord spot. But we cannot miss the last bus. So Tomo gave up to climb till the top and decided to go down. Tomo asked Chouchou to keep climbing until the top and take some photos for her. Chouchou continued to climb up to the top and made an effort to hurry to the top. Chouchou could see the cliff on the top. Looking at Lysefjord from the top of the mountain was magnificent.
Then Chouchou quickly went down and caught up Tomo soon.
We succeeded to catch the last bus to go to Tau. Then we changed to the ferry from Tau. We could come back to Stavanger by ferry.
Tomo & Chouchou's advice for Lysefjord hiking
If you go hiking to Lysefjord, you had better have enough time to hike.
Also you had better go directly to tourist information to check the ferry and bus to go to Lysefjord instead of local travel agency, we think. Because the local travel agency didn't contact us about their tour was cancelled and we lost our time.
Please think well and decide if you join the group tour or you go by yourself according to your itinerary.
