Definitely Trolltungan, one of Norway's amazing natural attractions. The rock sticks out of the mountain like a tongue, hanging approximately 700 metres above Lake Ringedalsvatnet.
Are you reading a book at the moment? Which one?
I am currently reading 'The escape from camp 14', the incredible story of Shin Dong-hyuk, the only person born in a North Korean gulag to have ever escaped to freedom.
