1998-07-23 - Skogadalsbøen - Fannaråken - Skogadalsbøen
We started at 7.40 (that's quite good!). A bit cloudy in the beginning but later it became much better. Today we used only one backpack, which meant short breaks and fast walk. The sun was strong so we had to apply sun cream factor 30.
After 3.45 hours we reached the cottage and could enjoy the lovely weather with no clouds in the sky. Maybe one of the most beautiful views in Norway? The cottage was under renovation but we liked it nevertheless. The Swedes should take a look here. We took lot of pictures and ate some sandwiches with sausage, cheese and sardines.

A few hours later we were satisfied and began the walk down to Skogadalsbøen. When we came closer to the cottage the speed became higher and higher and it was like a running competition. The broad-shouldered Bengtsson was leading the group and the Norwegian felt like ninepins. We were back again after 3 hours.

Down at the cottage we had something to eat and drank a beer while looking at the great peaks around us. Skogadalsbøen with its perfect location makes it to one of Jotunheimen's most beautifully places. At least we conquered Magnus in cards. Ha ha!
