Havøysund NSR Part 3

This afternoon was all about the waterfalls and the reindeer! There were so many waterfalls by the side of the road we stopped to look at, plus all the reindeer were still in the pass!

Then it was back to Lillefjord to do our hike! I had thought maybe we should have done it this morning as it started getting cloudy and rained a little before lunch, and got much colder (as soon as the sun goes away and you get a little bit of wind it gets freezing!), but by the time we got back there it was sunny and gorgeous again! Plus you could see all the things!

The hike was up to the waterfalls and phew! We got so hot hiking up! I was in a t-shirt! 11C outside and in a t-shirt! Crazy! It was a pretty steep hike near the top and a bit muddy. I had been thinking that our hikes this trip have been easy and not too bad and last time all the hiking was kind of crazy straight up the mountain (Norway has some of the craziest trails we have ever hiked!!) and then we got to this and I was like here it is. Here is the just climb straight up hiking! And it was on the tourist route so I had assumed it would be easier…it wasn’t that bad, want that long, but still I don’t know that most non-hikers should have/would have done the whole thing! I did think this is not going to be fun going down as it was so steep, but just like last time going down wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! So that was good.

When we got to the top we sat and enjoyed the view for a while. It was absolutely gorgeous! In the photo before the two of us if you zoom in where the water comes in you can see our van in the parking lot! It did get cooler sitting up there as there was a light breeze so I put a layer on again, and thought I might need my other layers going down since I won’t be so warm, but it was still too warm! I had to stop and take them off again! The sun was so warm!!

After the hike we drove back the rest of the NSR and off to camp!Read more
