A sunny morning greeted us, so we popped out from our cabin to take another little stroll in Solvorn - this time the opposite way along the coast. We have learned that a hike described as "easy" is never easy, so after about a mile of scrambling over rocks to fine views of boats and moorings, we returned to Hafslo for a second breakfast (of leftover bolognese) and to clean our cabin. We've become very good at cleaning, as moving accommodation daily has also meant a daily cleaning session.
En route to Olden, we made a couple of notable stops - the first being the Boyabreen glacier. Not being enthused enough to go into the nearby museum, we drove out to the glacier and peered at its blue ice tongue, which was perched on the flat rock face. To be so close to this on the main road was pretty rare.
Our next stop was when we had gained a bit of height, and feeling a little peckish we hopped out of the car on what looked like a promising viewpoint. One mile's hike later and having reached level with a nearby ski lift we sat and ate lunch with our first 360 view of snow-capped mountains.
Reaching Olden and pleasantly surprised by our £30 a night cabin at Nesset Fjordcamping, we went for an evening walk to investigate the cruise ship moored on the opposite side of the fjord. Walking up to it showed how it dominated the landscape around! However, the local people will benefit from the influx of passengers through souvenir shops and running tours, so they did not seem to mind as much as I might.
