We know its been a while, but being in the mountains we did not get access to internet. So what happened since last message?
We finished our road walking, and with heading into the mountains summer turned to autumn weather. We walked through a pretty but very wet Rondane, crossed to Alvdal where we got packages sent to with new maps, yummie German salami and a piece of tasty old dutch cheese :). Also there Jakob bought himself a downjacket since summer proved cooler than expected...
We crossed some beautiful Valleys were we had 2(!!) Days of pretty weather, walked past the gigantic lake Femunden and slept a night on a beautiful reindeertrampled sand beach at the north end of Feragen. That was were we crossed our first 1000 km! We walked trough pretty birch forest full of flowers closing in on Sylan. Just before getting there we ran into a festival that swallowed the camping we wanted to stay at, so after some quick shopping we made a long day back into the mountains again, from were we could still enjoy the music drifting in the wind.

To give ourselves a treat and a night out of the rain we stayed a night in Nedalshytta, enjoying a delicious dinner, sauna, a real bed and a breakfast buffet! Just shortly after that we saw the first reindeer of the trip, and had again bad luck coming back into civilization. Wanting to go back to a camping in Meråker where we were 2 years ago, we had to find out that all 3 campings did not exist anymore. So instead of a short day with showers in the end we walked out of town and slept on a skiing track.
A day later we got unfortunately stuck in a (pretty) hut for 3 days because Jakob got ill. When finally setting out again we walked way too far in pouring rain, getting wet until our underwear, which resulted in Jakob becoming really ill a day later again. So again 3 days being stuck in a pretty hut.
But lucky enough Jakob is doing better again, and even more important the weather finally changed!
So after a pancake breakfast (!!!) we will be heading out of Snåsa , were we just enjoyed the first hot shower in 2 Weeks!
