搭渡輪遊蓋倫格峽灣後，我們立刻踏上沿著北大西洋海岸線的63號公路，行經曲折蜿蜒的山區景觀公路「老鷹公路」及每年五到九月才開放的「精靈公路」，兩者合稱「黃金之路」，前往里耳哈默。
After our ferry ride across Geirangerfjord, we immediately hit the Norwegian County Road 63, driving on the winding mountain roads--the Ørnevegen (the Eagle Road) and Trollstigen, the latter open only from May to September. The two together are known as the Golden Route.
這條公路不僅工程艱鉅，因為要鑿山壁，開起來也挑戰司機的技術，路上有11個大迴轉髮夾彎道，道路又狹窄，開完一程三個半小時，司機和乘客都身心疲累。
Constructing these roads required outstanding road engineering and building skills, but what's even more amazing is that they were built with the simple tools available back in the 1930s. Also, driving is a tremendous challenge for drivers for there are eleven hairpin bends on each road. After a 3.5-hour drive from Geiranger to Lillehammer, not only drivers but also passengers are physically and mentally exhausted.
自然的景色太迷人，在北歐到處都看得到愛之鎖，我倒是想把看到的風景鎖在腦海裡。
It's fun to see locks of love everywhere in North Europe. I bet it's because natural scenery is so fascinating that people want to leave marks with their loved ones. I do have the strong desire to engrave everything I see in my head.
說起來很欠扁，但是拍照一整天到最後真是有點厭世，可是當車子行駛到至高點，看到窗外山上覆蓋冰雪的景色，不禁又把相機取出。
I might sound ungrateful in saying that I always end up feeling sick and tired of taking photos at the end of the day. However, when we reach the highest point, I can't help snapping photos upon seeing the magnificent views of mountains covered with thick layers of frozen snow.
這輩子我一定要再回去挪威！
I've made up my mind to go back to Norway in my lifetime!
