We woke up to patches of blue sky and fresh snow on the mountains behind us. It was very cold so we boiled water and ate breakfast from our tent.

After packing up we rolled down the hill to Billingen. This was one end of our planned tramping trip into the Reinheimen National Park. We discovered a restaurant beside an impressive river and indulged ourselves with hot chocolate and pizza.

The sun looked like it was here to stay for the day. We found a plateau up the road a way and pitched our tent there and began the grand Thursday afternoon dry out.

Following this we went for a walk by the river and took snaps of the waterfalls and then indulged ourselves again with cake and waffles at the restaurant. We organised for Craig to meet us at our campsite using the power of The Internet and WhatsApp.

Leonie lit a fire in the evening and we had a curry and I toasted a few bits of bread on the rocks around the fire. Norway is very nice with it doesn’t rain.

Above 1) The view from the tent door was a bit average though. 2) We looked at the map and schemed what to do when Craig would arrived. 3) We spent the morning riding down the valley. 4) We came across a restaurant near the Reinheimen National Park and took advantage of the hot chocolate and pizza on offer.
