10pm
I'm in my tent! It's the first time I've taken off my shoes since I put them on at home, which was 47 hours ago. Oh no, I took them off briefly when we slept in the car last night, but thought it best for all if they stayed on. It's like a mighty Ringlefinch troll gave birth to a dead puppy in a puddle of bin juice. I've got a stunning view from my tent and can't wait to open it up in the morning and see the Sognefjord, and hopefully some sun. It's rained all day. I don't really care that much, I expected it, it's just that sun can brighten hopes just as well as the breathtaking scenery.

We started today by travelling into Stryn where we had coffee and hot chocolate and went into a sports shop to buy a gas stove. The man there was staggeringly accommodating - he got the stove out of the box, explained how it worked, even got a new gas cylinder, opened that and lit it! Of course we couldn't turn down such hospitality, plus we needed the stove! The guy then showed us places around the area where we might like to visit by opening up a new map and giving us directions on it. He also gave us his boxes if matches. Bless him!

We went to 2 museums today - the Nordfjord Museum (which you got to through a secondary schools grounds, was tiny, all in Norwegian and contained a few pictures and a fridge from the 60s) and the Norsk Glacier Museum which was incredible! The two people at reception charged us 120 NOK to get in (I got my money out and the girl said "You have a lot of money", I said "I wish! That's my life in my pocket, there!", to which the guy said "yes. Life is hard" (I love Norwegians)) and we were ushered into a cinema where they showed us a 10 minute film showing the stunning glaciers in the area. When the film finished, the girl showed us into a series of 5 rooms which were brilliant multimedia lessons in the history of the earth and the effect of global warming. The experience was my favourite of the day.

We also got to go on 2 ferries today. Not much to say there, but I enjoyed the experience.

We pitched the tent around 6pm in a simple little campsite, called Fjellheim Camping, that cost us 140 NOK per night then took a 15 minute drive into the nearest town Vik. Not much there but once again were greeted by some now-consistent friendly Norsk folk. Will I go back to England with some of that selfless, kindly nature? Doubtful as I'm an absolute git!

Financial fail of the day:
£3.25 for a ticket into the worst museum in Europe where there's a fridge, some Norwegian info on the history of how electricity came to the area, and some wellies which may or may not have been part of the display.
