Vågå

182km 🚗

Awoke to sunshine after such a rainy Monday🥳

Upon a closer look at Google maps Glitterheim turned out to be a false promise, 30 kilometers of gravel road seemed a long way out of the way. So instead I located a campsite slightly nearer civilization in the same kind of area: Jotunheimen Caravan Camp ⛰️

I stopped in Dombas for a breather and ended up buying a Norway umbrella from a man who was in the special forces, and spent time on Salisbury Plain in 1978 🌂

Further along today I stopped for a bite to eat at a fuel station, the same one where I saw the tractor on the way north. Chatted with the woman at the petrol station and she told me her brother lives in Leamington Spa 🚜

Around 3pm, having driven through the Dovrefjell National Park and along the edge of the Rondane NP it was time for a breather at the small town of Vaga. Known for its connection to Edward Munch 😱

I had one of the BEST afternoons at an art gallery ever https://ullinsvin.no/ 🥰🥰🥰

So unexpected to see an exhibition by Norway's Queen Sonja as well as a locally based photographer Orsolya Haarberg (been in National Geographic x4) https://fjellheimengalleri.no/ 💓💓💓

Having started the day with a slate site,...... It's all too much - in a very good way! And that's without mentioning the amazing scenery 🏞️

Plus, third UK reference - All Creatures Great & Small, a TV show from my childhood also much appreciated in Germany apparently. Had a lovely evening sharing a picnic table and travel stories with an adventurous family from near Hamburg 🥪

I was very surprised to be discussing Tricky Woo's indulgences (spoiled Pekingese dog) whilst eating my supper tonight 😂Read more
