Day 82 (24): Looking Ahead

Åseral to Gletnesvatnet

Distance: 30km

A long night with little sleep. The locals kept on talking until early in the morning. Not loud but still making sleeping difficult. At least they keep the fire going throughout the night so I have a nice warning fire to wake up to.

Since I have got tons of food, I cook myself a porridge before climbing down the steep hill back to the town, where I hit the road.

These road walks give me time to think, to plan. I still have a month in Norway. What am I going to do with my time? So many options. I can't find the right one. There's no rush though. And tomorrow's another day.

After a bad night's sleep, going is generally tougher than normal. So I instantly and spontaneously decide to call it a day onxe I walk past a fishing shelter. It's huge, it's perfect to stay for the night. Great views and plenty of driftwood for a nice little fire.

For most of the evening, I have company of a cat. It's very friendly but terribly hungry. I feel a bit sorry that all I can offer are some bland, boring oatmeals, which isn't even exactly healthy.

Time passes by quickly. After a swim and warming up by the fire, I slip into my sleeping bag,keeping my fingers crossed for a good night's sleep.
