Early in the morning we left the camping and went by boat to the Stave church at Urnes.
This is the oldest medieval stave church in Norway dating back to 1130AD. The wooden church has intricate carving on the inside and outside and are original. The church has had a rich history so be sure to listen to and enjoy the informative guide. There is a small gift shop/museum as well as restrooms. 
The church is surrounded by a cemetery with headstones from more recent times. Wooden crosses and headstones from the original burials have long since rotted away. This is a remarkable little church and is worth the visit!
The construction was approved to traverse a section of country with relatively poor levels of reliability in road transport due to the mountainous area and narrow roads combined with many fjord crossings.
The Laerdal tunnel is an important part of the extension of a ferry-free, reliable road link between the two largest cities in Norway. The decision to build a tunnel rather than refurbish existing roads was taken to avoid difficult terrain with high risks of rock falls. 
The living animals have a brown-burgundy color, the red color results from being cooked.
The king crab was introduced artificially by the Soviet Union into the Murmansk Fjord during the 1960s to provide new, valuable catch for Soviet fishermen.
In the North Sea it is an invasive species and its population is increasing tremendously. it has spread westwards along the Norwegian coast and also northwards up to Svalbard. The average temperature of the water for general survival of the crab is between 4°C and 10°C.
