A couple attractions of Naustdal
I spent the next day trying to heal my legs from hiking and it was a torture walking downhill than it was to walk uphill. I am adding a couple attractions of Naustdal.

On Thursday we spent the afternoon with Joergen's brother Jon, wife Hannah, and their four kids, Sarah, Mayah, Wolf, and new addition, Thora. We met up at Kalvöye, an island in the Olso fjord, where the kids could climb rocks, run and play, and swim in the sea. Lars got brave ...
