On Saturday 30 July we moved from the second to the third holiday house, in the direction of Oslo. We passed various serious tunnels, the longest one being 24 km; there where roundabouts of tunnels, and close to Vøringfossen there is a tunnel which makes a full turn, just ending up higher. Vøringfossen is an impressive waterfall, its total height is 182 m; next to it is another waterfall, Tyssvikjo. The two waterfalls produce a continuous 'fog' making the woodland around the falls soaking wet -ideal for lichens. This is perhaps remarkable as Vøringfossen is one of the major tourist attractions of Norway.
