Quite surprisingly it wasn’t raining when we woke up. In fact after breakfast there was a tiny patch of blue sky. We decided to continue on our way and to my disappointment we left the patch of blue sky behind, however to my amazement as we cycled the clouds slowly dispersed until after a few hours we were cycling with enough blue sky to make me a very happy camper.
The route took us generally downwards but the loss in height was much more gradual than the change in height had been in our ascent from Geirangerfiord. We passed a crashed Nazi plane from WW2 on the side of the road, stopped at a delicious swirling river for photos and even managed to get a little sun burnt on the way. The road was quite wide and the route had that national park feel which was fitting as on one side of the road was the Reinheimen NP and on the other the Breheimen NP. There was very little traffic and lots of forest and lakes surrounding the road. Yum yum.
We stopped for the night a wee bit before the town Bismo and pitched our tent in a camping ground. How civilised.
