Monday

This morning we had to get out of bed earlier because the breakfast was available only until 9 am. So that helped get us out of bed The breakfast at the hostel was delicious, even though it was a simple thing; or maybe just because it was simple…..

The plan was to ride the city train, a train set up for tourists sightseeing most of the town. It even took us up to a hill overlooking the city and surroundings. It was spectacular. The photos just can’t compete with the real thing, anyhow I took a few….

Sadly the first train got full before we even got down town. There was a cruise boat in town and lots of people wanted to have a look around. The boat I’ve seen before, but not so close, it was the really big Queen Elisabeth 2.

MT got so sad when we had to see the train leave without us. But we eventually used the time to go shopping and look around a bit. I’ve been in the city before and shopping with MT is fun only a short while. So when the train got back we stood there waiting for it, eager to go onboard. Thankfully this time there where room for us!

The tour was very “touristy”, I think we were the only one onboard speaking Norwegian - but MT had fun and the view from top of the hill right above the city was so worth it!!

After we ate a bit and then we headed for the car; after MT had his own ride in Pelle Police car. We had quite a bit to drive, so after buying ice cream and coffee we headed out of town and north east.

MT fell quickly asleep, and slept for over an hour. I reckoned it would be late until he could go and sleep tonight so I let him sleep as long as he wanted. Then we stopped for a while to go to the restroom and just be outside for a while. That place also had a play area for kids so MT had lots of fun.

Then we got on with our driving. We passed Åndalsnes at around 6:30 pm and then turned for the eastern part of Norway. A few years ago I was pastor in Lesja, and now I wanted to visit some friends there again. We arrived at 7:30 pm at my friend Jorunn’s house and got a nice meal there.

Now MT is put to bed and I think he’s found his sleep while I’ve typed this. So now I’m heading back down to chat a bit with Jorunn before I’m going to bed my self.

The weather hasn’t been to blue; but there is always tomorrow…..

And, sorry, this won’t be posted until I can find an Internet access. Here is no wireless connection, like I found in Ålesund. But then Lesjaverk is a smaller place, to put it mildly….

Good Night friends!

added photos and finally got this uploaded in early July; about time!!!
