Tuesday 26 August

Anne read diary and commented that I had missed the main item from the ferry voyage – ah well!! During the bad storm one of the large windows of the front lounge broke – water of course poured in and the occupants of the front cabins, about 30 in all, found their floors covered in about 2 foot of water. An announcement was made ending with “we are not sinking” – to anyone in the cabins this must have been a relief!

Well after all that we did leave Kinsarvick at 7.15 after packing a very wet tent. We have not “shaken” down yet as this evening was to show! Things are still not in their right place and at present to get one item about 4 others have to be moved. Still it [and us] will get better.



The drive was superb. I have never seen such majestic mountains. Apart from the rain there seemed lakes everywhere – and all on different levels with streams/waterfalls connecting. Took lots of photographs. Some of the village had very old wooden churches and a remnant of the past – drying/storing huts on stills.

More very long tunnels – one very scary with a length of about 1½ miles and a continued downward gradient.

The road, for most of the way – is being rebuilt and these sections that have been finished are very good. Saw people picking wild strawberries but couldn’t find any ourselves. Arrived at the camp site and was just putting up tent when the rain started – good beginning to Oslo – still just had dinner and am now off to see the city.
