In the morning we packed up and set out early from our hotel …

We followed our (2 dimensional) map up the mountains from sea level to 1500 metres in no time flat … through countless tunnels.

… this little bit was interesting … from left to right, three long tunnels and rising a couple of  hundred metres!

Quickly we were in high snow country …

Excellent place for a picnic! … not in the rain today! … (spot the fishing shack)

Further on, and lower, Geilo, a HUGE ski resort town …

More towns and high country farms …

… with churches …

… and wild running rivers … we got out and walked around here … poor Jan slipped on her backside and cried!

Then to a beautiful picnic spot for lunch … for a close up look at the endless birch and Norway pines …

… do trolls live down here?

The old suspension bridge and this stone bridge (of which many) used to serve the main road!

Further down the long slope to Oslo the rain got heavier … and to our surprise, lots of wheat farms …

… and so to Oslo …
