Evening light capturing the rapids,
tonight's campsite
|
It drizzled away almost all night but this morning it had
cleared and saw odd patches of blue sky, which improved during the day and
tonight we have the most pleasant sunny evening.
Continued on HW 342 this morning, lots of forest areas and a
number of lakes and stopped beside one for a morning coffee and a wander along
a track. The wildflowers are everywhere beside the lakes and are just so
delicate.
Had read about the Hallsingsafallet Falls and decided to
detour and see them. Little did we know when we turned off the main road there
was almost 30 kms of a quite narrow gravel road!. It was a slowish trip but not
a lot of traffic and everyone that we met was very courteous. Finally arrived
about 1pm and there were quite a few cars and motorhomes in the carpark,
managed to find a spot and time for lunch. There was a good walk into the falls
and what a magnificent sight, well worth the detour. They fall 43 metres into a
huge canyon, the sun was out and a spectacular rainbow appeared in the mist.
The gravel road continued on for another 15kms to the small
town of Gaddede where we had a stop and checked out Park4Night about likely
places for our nights stop. A number were right on the road but the one that
stood out was a further hour’s drive and Ian decided it was worth it and what a
wonderful drive. The sun was shining and the roadsides were lined with multi
coloured lupins in full flower, shades of cream, through to soft pinks, deep
pinks and blues. And everywhere huge lakes, one after another and many more
houses on this part of the drive, including a ski town. Interesting we are now just
across the border from Norway and the surrounding hills still have remnants of
the winter snow.
