Stunning Norway - Part I
... yet at the same time rather admirable, when we were woken at 7am by these same old codgers bidding each other farewell as they finally went to their beds, stopping to pose for some very loud pictures of themselves and the morning, seemingly right outside our door.

Olden
... enough to see it calve twice. Very cool. When we get back to the base camp there is a resturant serving us coffee and pastries. God, the Norweigians know how to do pastries!

There were much fewer people on the way back which was also a treat. However, the wind chill factor was like sub-zero and by the time we got into Hellesylt I had turned blue.
