Among the glaciers, we slept until 7am – the air was cold, but we were plenty warm in our cocoon of base layer, sleeping bag liners, and the down comforters.
We hit the road about an hour later and stopped along way
for breakfast. It was still super foggy…….
We drove to Skjoden, the end of The Sognefjellet Scenic Road,
pulled over, and chatted about where to go next. We decided to hike Besseggen, another
one of Norway’s iconic hikes, in Jotunheimen Nasjonalpark. When we looked at
Google maps for directions, it was back the way we came, so we did a u-turn and drove back over The Sognefjellet Scenic Road! 😂
Yay us! As we drove back, the clouds dissipated, and we saw the views and glaciers that we couldn’t see just 24 hours ago. We spent the morning popping in-and-out of the camper, enjoying some short walks, and the views.
Lots of photos!!
We stopped in Lom again for a coffee and pastry.....
...and continued to find a camping spot as
close to the Besseggen hike as we could find.
As Brad drove, Suzanne booked the parking ticket (have to park the camper
in the national park, but there is a no camping policy), shuttle tickets (have to take a short shuttle to the marina), and the ferry tickets (it’s a
one-way hike, although it can be done as a long roundtrip if backpacking).
We checked out the area, then found a camping spot about five minutes away from the official parking area....
