The car steered to Juvvasshytta. The last kilometers up the hill were really winding. Just outside the cottage there was a skiing-slope. 13.30 PM we walk in sunshine towards Galdhöpiggen. We took out our glacier equipment from the backpack and put it on. First a sightseeing hike then up to the peak where we found a lot of people outside the cottage. A chocolate bar and we were pleased. On the way down we walked on Styggebreen in southly direction. A little practice isn't wrong. We spent the evening at well-known Lom. How many times have we been there? A shower, roll-on and new underwear, wonderful! On the camp we made a taco buffet with sveler as first dish. It tasted like heaven. 29/7-99 This early morning we all felt that it should be good to drive home to Sweden. The car didn't complain and we discussed the next year hike. I hear someone say, it must be Jotunheimen again. Another voice sounds like this, never again. We'll see. Late at night we arrived to our hometown Varberg at the Swedish front. This year vacation is over but we'll be back in the mountains soon.   Picture comment   Picture (thumbnail) Picture 99-10-127 Bessheim that we passed on our way to Juvvashytta.
