We had slept at a beautiful pull-out spot near a camper with a couple who seemed to be saying the area was okay to stay in (we weren't sure since they didn't seem too willing to come to the door), and slept in until 10. Dian made fried eggs and hash browns and we left in the rain and overcast to catch the ferry from Lavik to Oppedal. Nicole and Dian were still dealing with colds and couldn't help but laugh at how similar their noses were to the mountains literally pouring waterfalls over their sides into rushing rivers. Once when Nicole was blowing her nose she was perplexed when she couldn't decide whether to finish blowing her nose or "get the shot." We were also coming up with lines like "Have you driven a Fjord lately?" We figured a bit of cabin fever had set in after seven and a half hours of driving. We parked in front of a fantastic old hotel overlooking the fjord and after chili con carne we played Boggle and fell asleep.

| We took a very long tunnel to cut down on travel time, and the tunnel actually had a roundabout inside! |

| No big deal, just the view from our camper in the place we slept |
