As I said in post previous, Celo woke up with back pain and we decided to sleep in a hotel as close as possible to the rock Preikestolen. We have been driving since Kristiansand for about 4 hours until we decided to stop in the city of Sandnes, where we found a really cool hotel.
We passed through incredible places…
Our hotel
We found the Kronen Gaard Hotel in the application Booking which was really cute and It cost 805 Norwegian kroner (almost 90 euros). I didn't book it on the app, but I showed the price to the girl at the counter and she agreed to close the reservation without going through the Booking for the same price (she had told me a higher daily rate, I don't remember how much). There we went for comfort! 🙂
We liked the atmosphere of the hotel so much that we decided to give in and have dinner at the restaurant, especially because the day called for it: it was our 49th “monthly” day!! <3 We ordered very typical dishes and found everything delicious, with the exception of a salad with a jelly (horrible).

We had a hearty breakfast, as the day would be full of hiking. I don't know if we would have lasted the whole day with just the ham and cheese sandwiches and orange juice. There are blessings to every cloud 🙂
