In the previous installment of our honeymoon travelogue: Cori and Ryan use a lot of adjectives to describe fjords. Be warned: by the end of this post, you may have booked your own trip to Norway without even realizing it. We woke up to a bright sunny morning in Kristiansund -- the first bit of sun we'd really seen since we got on the motorcycle.
