Travelling South to Oslo

We got up to a bright, sunny morning and had a leisurely breakfast before going back on the road to Oslo. The temperature was 26°C but fell to 10° as we climbed into the mountains and travelled through the national park Dovrefjell,  where now we had to watch out for the sheep and lambs which liked to lie down by the side of the road and watch the travelling circus of life.

We also went through Lillehammer where they held the winter olympics in 1994, and eventually we found a camp on the Mjosa lake at Tangen. It is full of Norwegian families enjoying the bathing and boating on the lake and staying in semi-permanent caravans with decks and awnings and flowerpots and big gas barbeques made from boilers. It was Saturday night and it got pretty lively.

We saw the moon and it got rather dark for a while.
