Norway and Sweden (6) - The Pulpit Rock

If there is one reason I want to go to Norway, it is to hike the Pulpit Rock. From Stavanger, we took the ferry to Tau (46 NOK, one way, and they had free Wi-Fi). Two buses were waiting at Tau ferry terminal when the ferry arrived. One of them was for the Pulpit Rock (marked clearly in English). We bought round trip bus tickets (140 NOK). Big mistake. Because there were 2 companies doing this route. Neither had a frequent schedule at Pulpit Rock trailhead (1 - 1.5 hours a bus). Now that we bought round trip bus tickets with one company, we had to wait for their bus at Pulpit Rock trailhead to come back to Tau ferry terminal later. If we bought one way ticket, we could just get on either company's bus. It may cost a little more, but it would give us more flexibility.

2. The trail was pretty difficult early on, yet there were still people walking in their flip-flops.

8. As much as I wanted to sit there like the guy next to me, this was all I could do at first.


9. The surface was full of cracks, make you wonder what if ...


10. Trying to sit on the edge but couldn't. For some reason, I felt if I put the other leg down, I would fall ...


11. This was as close to the edge as I could sit.


12. The Pulpit Rock.


13. The Pulpit Rock.


14. Waiting for the ferry at Tau to go back to Stavanger.
