After another cold night high up in the mountains it was time to lower ourselves down a bit more. We will certainly miss this place, but there are so many beautiful places here in Norway. If we had to see them all we would never leave this land again.

On our way down, we passed some exciting things. This collum is one of the highest in the world, and they started building it to be the new national monument in Oslo. Sadly, the collum was originally never finished because the sculptor was imprisoned for treason during World War II. The Elvesetter family discovered part of the collum and decided to repair and finish this work of art.

The next stop we made was the Lom Stave Church. This has to be one of the oldest buildings we have visited this holiday, as the church was built in 1170. It was amazing to see such an old church still in great condition, and the smell was just like walking on an old ship.

After seeing a lot outside, we went to two museums. The Norwegian Mountain Center and the Fossheim Steinsenter. Both were very interesting. The first was about all the different things they found when the Glacier Ice started to melt. It’s incredible to find stuff from the first people who wandered the ice, but sadly, there is less and less ice to walk over. I am glad to see that so many of the museums we visited in Norway inform about climate change. Hopefully, this will open up some eyes.

The second museum was all about stones and fossils. We thought there would only be stones from Norway, but they came from all over the world. Weirdly, the stones on the outside can be very dull and not at all interesting, but a few are beautiful on the inside. I would have loved to learn how and why stones are the way they are, but this information was not provided in the museum. It was set up more like a private collection to be viewed.

After the museums, it was back to the outdoors, and the weather was perfect. With the sun shining high up in the sky, we walked around the city for a little while and decided to get lunch at the nearby supermarket. On our way there, we walked over a bridge, and the water under there was going crazy. It was not the place to go swimming, but it was an amazing sight to see.

Right now, we have found a place inside the woods to camp for the night. The wind is picking up, and to ensure a good night's sleep, it’s best to sleep somewhere a bit sheltered.
