Sonya's visit was again brief. She left in the morning in a Taxi to Åmot, since the bus doesn't run from Rauland on Saturday's and we didn't figure that out until too late on Friday night. It's really nice to have visitors, especially Sonya!
I had plans to go on a little walk in the mountains. Since we don't all have bikes (and I can't ride one) we were going to walk to the base of the mountain (4km) on the road, then in and around a little way where we would find a trail up to a plateau. That was the plan according to Anja.
Just as we got to the turn-off, Marco pulled up in his car. He said he could join us, but we'd have to come back to his place first so he could change. This gave us the opportunity to meet his girlfriend, so we jumped on it!
Once we were on our way, we realized that it would have really been impossible for us to do all of the walking ourselves. Between where Marco picked us up and the trail head, it was an easy 12-15km. Then there was still the fun part!
We parked the car, put on warm clothes, and headed up the trail to Falkeriset. In places it was really muddy. Anja and I got our feet completely soaked. It was worth it though. By the time we got to the top, we'd eaten wild blueberries, seen fantastic sights, and made it over 1000 meters above sea level!
