I thought I'd sum up the excursion and our experience of the country via the medium of... the list. • Apple orchards • Crunchy apples • Thin roads with confident drivers • Blondes • Camping huts everywhere • Everyone speaks English • Everyone is genuine and has time for you • Everything's 2.5x more expensive • It's light at 10.30pm • Intimidating and oppressive landscape in bad weather. Exhilarating and impressive landscape in good w...

14.30 That blasted rain has scuppers our pedalo plans! We were promised a sunny Saturday but instead were given something very different. I spent the day finishing off my second book of the year and starting my third - Catching Fire. 23.00 We decided to pay a visit to the museum in Eidford this afternoon. Yay! How much was it? 120 NOK each. Boooo! So we headed to the gift shop instead! I bought a couple of bookmarks, a moose fridge magnet, and a cheese slicer...

22.30 Even though the overnight hostel in Sundal was my favourite accommodation this whole trip, it felt a little isolated.

22:20 Back to normal Norway! The fjords. Bergen was busy and wet and the campsite was... scary. Especially when some random trick driver walked into our hut by mistake.

So we took a drive to Hardangerfjord and everywhere was shut for the national holiday, including our campsite. Luckily next door was an overnight hostel which cost the same as a hut at Sundal Cam...

15:00 Blood and poo splatter on a toilet isn't a great thing to see at your new campsite is it? Nevertheless that's what we've found. However, the hytte is yet another 50% bigger - the biggest we've had and only cost 400NOK, plus there's cutlery and utensils. Also there's a plug socket for me to plug my self-rewired unearthed plug for my trimmers. And it works!! I'm an electrical genius. Did jump when I plugged it in and the trimmer was already turned on, though...
