[QUOTE="lovingkindness, post: 100875, member: 7570"] [color=#008000][b][i]Hiya Doug,[/i][/b][/color] you've finally reached Hjerkinn, Yes!!! Where did you stay? Such a beauuuuutiful well-appointed railway station… I was able to shower and eat at a former army hostel just above. In Hjerkinn I met a [i]pilegrim[/i] family who said, [i]come and stay with us when you reach Oslo.[/i] Then in Oslo they said, [i]here’s the key to our beach house on The North Sea. Just walk the beach from Hirtshals and after a few days you’ll find it[/i]… so that's how I found myself in Denmark.... …and at Fokstugu Fjellstue I had a great surprise...I'm pretty sure you will have stayed there, too. Most [i]pilegrims[/i] do....A Norwegian [i]peregrino[/i] whom I'd met on the VdlP had phoned ahead and paid for me to sleep in a bed! [i]Tusen Takk, amigo[/i]! The horse at Fokstugu Fjellstue is legendary, more human than a human. He welcomes all the guests and will even open the kitchen door and come in… …Doug, did you meet the master restorers at Oppdal Kirke? They said it would take about three years to complete the work. Perhaps it is done by now. Such a beautiful interior… they fed me workmen’s sandwiches and plied coffee…[i]Tusen Takk![/i] I'm trying to visualise your journey northward but keep getting stuck. I walked the route in reverse and got lost in this region every day. On the descent to Kongsvoll I turned right along the Vårstigen instead of left and wound up 10 km down the valley. It was the end of a very cold day and I howled all the way to my hideyhole.... I ate breakfast the next day at the Kongsvoll pilegrims palace :) I am really enjoying your blog, Doug and your entries on this Forum. They're giving me a chance to wallow and indulge in some fabulous memories......Thanks. -[i]Lovingkindness[/i] [/QUOTE]
