Via Ferrata & Spa Day

In the evening when I arrived at Norine‘s place we had a looooong talk to catch up with everything that had happened in eachothers life‘s - and damn that was a lot.
Her flatmade offered me to sleep in her bed because he wasnt there for another two weeks and I was very thankful because I had a bed and a room by myself and slept like a baby.
In the morning we had breakfast & made our way to the Tyssedal Via Ferrata, one of the hikes Norine guides.

I‘m so fascinated by how she does things, how she handles her life and how she just follows her dreams wherever they may lead her.

This was the first Via Ferrata of my life and I didnt know I would like it that much! We climbed up a Rock along pipes that had been built in the early 20th century. The area is and was very important for hydroelectricity. On our way up the views got prettier and prettier. At some point the sun caught up with us and warmed our freezing hands, which made clinbing a lot easier!
As we were up, Norine gave me a provate guided Tour in the Tunnels and the Pipes. I was so surprised I didnt know we could enter them, nor that she was actually giving tours to people. As we hiked back home it started to rain and we decided to go to the Spa in Lofthus after eating lunch.
Norine can go there for free and I was allowed to go with her without having to pay. The spa was part of a very nice and rather fancy hotel. There was a sauna with view on the fjord, different Pools, an outdoor pool and a way to reach the fjoord, which I obviously did, and so, yesterday I had my first swim in a Fjord:) it was quite cold, but somce I could just jump back to the sauna it didn‘t matter that much.
In the evening we drove past a „Sideri“ (a place where they make cider) and we bought one for dinner.
After a cooking & eating pasta with veggie saue, we watched a movie & drank our cider. Czytaj więcej
