Flere fossefall preger landskapet, vi tar oss tid til pauser underveis for å se og oppleve. Gode overnattinger på det ærverdige Brakenes Hotel. 21.07.20. Dag 1, Sandnes/Stavanger – Ulvik Avreise fra Sandnes kl. 08.30, By terminalen kl.09.00. Vi kjører gjennom Rennfast og tar ferge over til Bokn. Vi følger E-39 nordover via Aksdal, og videre forbi Ølen og Etne. Vi tar en benstrekk med mulighet for formiddagskaffe ved Åkrafjordtunet. Butikken her er også fabrikkutsalg for Lundals spekemat. Lenger inne i Åkrafjorden møter vi Langfossen – kåret til en av verdens 6 fineste fosser. Passert Skare møter vi også Låtefossen, også en av landets flotte fosser. Fra Odda følger vi en sidefjord av Hardangerfjorden – Sørfjorden. Området er ofte kalt frukthagen i Hardanger, et navn som dette vakre distriktet bærer stolt. Man mener britiske munker startet fruktdyrking her allerede på 1300 tallet, og i dag dyrkes epler, pærer, plommer og moreller. 40 % av norsk frukt kommer fremdeles fra dette området. I Kinsarvik stopper vi hos Sandnes mannen Steinar Rinaldo og får servert en velsmakende lunsj. Like ved finner vi også Hardangerbestikk sitt fabrikkutsalg som vi også har tid til å besøke.
