May 23It was amazing to come over the Jotunheimen National park and see the huge mountains of central Norway. Yesterday, Knut and I spent the day with harness, crampons and ice tools on Nigardsbreen glacier walking up about 350m in elevation and the skies were a mix of sun-cloud so got some good photos. Unfortunately, my usb is not working and I can´t upload any new photos.
Today we joined 5 of Knut´s friends and did some ski mountaineering in the Jotunheimen. We skied to the top of 4 - 2000m peaks including Galdhøpiggan, the highest point in Norway and northern Europe at 2469m. Four peaks in one day! It is absolutely amazing here.
I am off to southern Norway in the morning, taking a ferry to the mainland and heading to Stavanger arriving sometime Monday and hopefully meeting up with Benjamin. We plan to visit Lysefjord, and hike to the Preikestølen, and possibly the Kjerag, a chockstone between two mountain bluffs.
Hoping all is well wherever you are!
Neil
