We awoke to… rain!
After a while though it stopped and as we packed up I was excited to briefly see my shadow. We headed up the pass in overcast conditions but with only light rain near the top. Then it was a descent into Geiranger Fiord where we spent quite a while shopping, eating lunch, and trying not to freeze.
We headed up the pass towards Lom late afternoon. The rain turned to sleet near the top of the pass and we had a very cold decent of about 100 m before we stopped at some public toilets where we pitched the tent and cooked under the shelter outside.
It was salmon and cous cous for dinner. A guy from Holland emerged from his campervan and asked if we wanted to warm up with him and his wife after they watched us trying to get warm. At the pass, a Belgian couple had turned around and drove back to ask if we were alright. Nice people.
Above left: It had snowed in the night and there was a dusting of fresh snow up high. Above middle: More fresh snow and plenty of water. Above right: Our descent from the pass above Geiranger was very cold and we were a little worried about where we would stay and whether we would be able to get warm but luckily this block of toilets rescued us. We pitched our tent near a stray poo and cooked dinner out of the rain.
