2005-07-28 - Langavatn - Sandvatn - Børsteinen
After a long night sleep without interrupting moments (lawnmowers) we took a quick glance at the hut and talked to some of the guests. We met a Norwegian family, father and daughter, which we joined.

A bit up in the slope we saw some grouses and we took some pictures, and of course we got a little bit hungry (grouse meat isn’t wrong) but we were satisfied with some chocolates. The path signs were almost missing this day but we had guides with us which led us the right way. The terrain was easy to walk in with some flat rocks and a lot of small lakes. Really nice.

After an hour walking we left the Norwegians because the were going towards Sandvatn and we were going the other way. The weather was really nice and the sun went trough now and then.

We passed a couple of lakes and walked an a track with a lot of frogs everywhere. Sadly we weren’t French, just like a candy bar!

This day we planned to stop walking early and stopped already at 19.30. We picked a lovely tent place with a sea view. Our three meal menu was delicious as always.
