D3 Wednesday, 29 June.
Yesterday the route to the pier was discovered, and the first boat arrived at the pier at 08:00 and boarded the ferry directly. The picture below is today's route, with an estimated time of 1.5 hours.

The boat arrived at Taiyu Pier, disembarked and took the FV529 highway to reach the parking lot under the mountain, and the buses arrived one after another after 10 minutes, and the number of tourists suddenly increased. Parking costs NOK100, remember: only coins are charged.
Today's task climbed up to the pulpit, which is the towering rock in the Lytherfjord, and many tourists rush to this big rock, and we ran more than 500 kilometers to check in. Norway has several famous stones, the pulpit, the miracle stone, and the tongue of the mountain demon. The latter two are in another place, and the climb takes 10 hours. There were once two girls from China who got lost and sent out helicopters to search. Another young couple, underestimating physical exertion, was ill-prepared and returned to camp with an apple to replenish their strength. According to the above example, according to the physical strength of Uncle Ben and Aunt, it was an impossible task, and she decisively gave up, but the big stone in front of her was determined to climb up.
First look at the guide map: the distance from the parking lot to the top of the mountain is 3800M and the height is 300 meters, and the round trip is 4 hours according to the picture. Uncle Ben calculated that 60-year-old physical strength climbing for 4 hours is definitely not good, 6 hours is always possible. Unexpectedly, the relative height is more than 300 meters, this stone mountain has three platforms, is the kind of concave terrain, 7 hours round trip. The steps are very steep and leg-strenuous, and I feel like my knee is injured, that pain! Going down the mountain saves effort and legs, every step is careful, sideways down a few steps, and then change to another leg, each next step is pestled, repeatedly rubbing both knees is bad! There will be no way to walk tomorrow. Remember, there were domestic self-driving tour bloggers who took the elderly and children up, I really don't understand how they went up? It seems that no one has spoken true feelings like I did.

Speaking of the weather, the pulpit is the wind outlet, and the wind is mixed with the rain, and in vain gusts of wind. There was a stone with iron chains on it, and the body was attached to the stone and moved over little by little. There is also a cliff crack, which the uncle can't look down at, and has been invaded by a fear of heights. It was 30 meters away from the pulpit, and the wind was so strong that Uncle Ben squatted next to a large rock. My aunt was a little bolder than me, and finally crossed the last 30 meters to reach the pulpit, walking around excitedly. I also saw several people running to the edge of the stone and playing with no protective chain at all, and many people have fallen in the past few years and have not even recovered their bodies. Now understand that too close to the edge can be blown down by strong winds. The uncle immediately gestured for her to hurry back, but when she returned to the crack, she did not dare to take a step and kept hesitating. Finally, an old foreign lady extended a friendly hand and pulled her over.
Uncle Ben kindly reminded that when he is older, he usually lacks exercisers, and may not be able to walk the stone, or even catch up with the car. Children should not accompany you. In addition, bad weather is the norm, rain, wind, fog days are very likely, it is your luck to meet good days. Wear warm clothes, a raincoat, and a hat.
Hehe! This pulpit was finally conquered by us, and we drove to the B&B with exhaustion. I have been thinking about this accommodation for a long time, and it can be said that it is carefully planned, a small town called Yolpalan, only 9KM from the preikesday and along the way to the next day.

B&B booked house
The landlord was not there, sent me a text message saying that the key was in the KEYBOX, looked around the house but did not find it, called the landlord many times but did not answer. See if there is indeed a small switch on the wall, try to press it to pop open the small door, inside is a digital lock, enter the landlord text message to a set of numbers wow! Bounced open, there really was a key inside. This made Uncle Ben faint, and use it to put the key typical anti-gentleman does not guard against villains. UNCLE TIPS, KEYBOX LOOKS LIKE A POWER BUTTON.

The small piece of paper left by the host had the WIFI password written on it, which was needed so much that I needed to go online to book my stay tomorrow. Take a look at the house, there is a pool table in the middle hall, it seems that this is the landlord's hobby. It was so tiring to get something to eat in the kitchen. In the middle of the night, I heard the landlord come back and exchanged pleasantries. THE HOST HAD ALREADY LEFT THE NEXT MORNING AND WE PUT THE KEYS BACK IN THE KEYBOX. From this point of view, the landlord does not have a problem of distrust of customers, and Stavanger's strange stupid woman is just an example. Uncle's tip: Priority is given to renting this kind of house with a single family.
