Dear Travelers,
It’s my first time to visit Ulvik located in an offshoot
of Norway’s celebrated Hardangerfjord. It is a low-key summer resort popular
with hikers and fishermen alike. Late spring fills the air with the scent of
blossoming fruit trees, a harbinger of the sweet cherries, pears, plums and
apples.
I was planning to take my bike climb up to the mountains and descend back slowly to see the stunning view of the place, but before that I met two young ladies playing a dwarf size chess board located just in front of the town’s white-clad church. They were very shy when I approached them; well it’s a normal reaction of people meeting a stranger. I won their trust by talking & interviewing them, not only that we had a wonderful time dancing making the chessboard as our dance floor.
I was panting pushing the bike pedal hard to go climb up
to the mountain but the breeze of the fresh air helped pump my lungs extending
my last energy. The sun even though it was 9 in evening still accompanying me
wanting me to pursue my idea to see the ice on top of the mountain.
I failed to reach the top of the mountain but on the
other hand won as I can see the beauty of Ulvik on the bird’s eye view like a
paradise, a very quiet and peaceful place, the combination of earth colors and
the sound of the birds chirping as if they were singing to me, the wind
caresses me gently as I continue to breath slowly.
