After a little discussion we decided to walk up to Liahornet, an easy start trip just outside the house. We followed the path through the jungle and then met the rock surface mixed with ling just around Rjåneskamben where we turned to Liahornet. In the steep hillside it became more stony. But it was rather nice to look back over the fiord landscape. When we came closer to the 1035 meter high Liahornet the famous fog just appeared but we decided to walk on. About noon we had a new summit to our collection. After we had signed the guest book which was hidden at the peak we took some pictures and of course Swedish chocolate. Our next goal was Svenskedalen or in English "the Swede valley" (what a nice name!). On the way we passed an old house called Liadalssætra. But we Swedes weren't satisfied with that. We walked about 400 height meters until we reached the incredible Svenskedalen. When we saw that someone had put a guest book there we were all happy. Not Mette of course! But we forced here to sign it also. She had lived just beside this valley for twenty years but she had not been here before. That's not good. According to her the valley has the name Svenskedalen just because it's dark, cold and barren. We don't agree. We went home for some real Norwegian food. In the evening we had a national fishing competition between Norway and Sweden. But unfortunately no one was lucky to get a big fish so Mettes father declared this competition over for this time. After a fast transportation back home to Håvoll we continued the game with some cards. It was a classic game called "Idioten" or in English "the idiot". When Mette said that she must win to times after each other this evening became very long. We felt that we had to fake a loss otherwise we probably had been playing even now.   Picture comment   Picture (thumbnail) Picture 00b-2-17 The view of Örstafjorden.
