Varden i Kristiansund
After spending an extra night in Trondheim to get the time to visit Storheia, it was time to put into motion my unusual plan of how to return to Bergen. The first part was easy enough: check out of the hotel, walk the short distance north to Pir 1, and embark on Kystruten. Here I could enjoy the scenic views as I slowly made my way south. A bit too slowly for my taste, hence I could not resist the chance to get off the boat when we had a 1 hour stop in Kristiansund.
Given the time constrains I settled on Varden i Kristiansund. From the boat I simply followed various streets up to the tower standing at the highest point, which provided an excellent 360 degrees view. Even better from the top of the tower itself. I returned the same way and got back on the boat around 15 minutes before it continued south to Molde.
After a night on the boat, I was ready for the next part of my elaborate return trip to Bergen: Hiking in Måløy.
