A trip to the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen)

When I was living in England I sometimes missed Norway so much, especially the nature. I told myself that when I came back home, I was going to spend more time outside, go for more walks in the beautiful landscape (not in parks), and also that I would try to visit more norwegian tourist attractions -

This weekend my family and I went to the south west of Norway. The first day we went hiking to the Pulpit Rock, then to Sandnes to eat, before in the evening we arrived at the farm we were going to stay. This was a place we found using the website airbnb.com. We had a lovely time there. Thanks for the hospitality! The second day we went to Stavanger to go shopping, and the third and last day of our trip we went home. On the way back we made a stop in Farsund to visit some of our family friends on their cabin by the sea. What a nice place!

The path up to the Pulpit Rock was very rocky and steep. It took us about 2 hours to walk up there, and a bit less to walk down. We were very lucky with the weather - not too hot, not too cold, and the fog didn't come until we were on our way down, about 3.30 pm. When I was there I obviously had to sit with my feet off the edge - 600 meters straight down. I guess you could say my parents weren't too excited about that..
