On our first morning in Ålesund, we were amazed to discover that our Norwegian exchange house was even nicer than described. There was supposed to be a deck with distant views of the mountains, but in the winter we didn't expect to be sitting on the deck so we didn't plan on having much of a view from inside the house. When we stumbled into the kitchen to look for a coffee maker, we realized that the entire back side of the house had a full mountain view, and the kitchen and side deck even looked out over the water. We had a view of a fjord! It wasn't just one single mountain out the window, but we were looking at a huge group of snowy peaks, as far as we could see in either direction. Below was the water where cruise ships pass during the summer. Cruise ships! We couldn't believe that the home owners hadn't mentioned this amazing location in their listing, and hurried into snow gear to get outside and see what was awaiting us.
