• Lillehammer

    October 9 in Norway ☁️ 1 °C

    After the scenic route we headed on up and I had planned a hike in the area, but unfortunately since we couldn’t go as far yesterday we didn’t really have time. The area was absolutely gorgeous though! It is a definitely come back and hike around area! Up in the pass, wide open areas, super busy (lots of cars parked at the parking spots). On another trip we will come back and explore more.

    Then it was on to Lillehammer for a wander through town and it was a pretty nice town! Definitely way nicer than the others we have been to on this trip. There was a nice pedestrian street and we found lots of treats (blueberry cake, chocolate sorbet from 7-11 which was surprisingly good, snickers cake, and a cardamom bun!). It was a nice wander and perfect day for it!

    Then on to camp with a quick stop at “To Sew A Seed” artwork…I didn’t actually think it was supposed to be a giant sperm from far away, but then saw the name and it is. We are camped on a very quiet road next to a lake (last photo) and it is pretty nice.

    This morning when I woke up I saw all the weather notifications saying that the roads in the mountains will get snowy/icy by this evening so I’m glad we are out of the mountains now and won’t get stuck. We have a ferry tomorrow at 5:30pm so we have to get to that! The forecast says it might snow where we are in the morning, then turn to rain so we shall see. We don’t have a lot on the agenda as we want to make sure we catch our boat, but we will see what we get up to and what the weather is like.
