Last night spaghetti with bread. <\/span>Francien had her jaw broken 2 w. <\/span>ago and can not chew. <\/span>For me that means among other things that I’ll have to\u00a0eat the half kilo of mixed nuts, that Francien had brough, all alone,\u00a0which I do not mind. <\/span>Because we walked only 14 km. yesterday<\/span>, Tosca was not tired enough. <\/span>She was under the balcony of our motel, dry but bored, waiting\u00a0whether in the\u00a0evening she would be\u00a0allowed to go inside. <\/span>After a few hours I gave her a blanket to lie on. <\/span>Which was quickly ripped\u00a0apart. <\/span>For the night I took her inside and she left her\u00a0blanket in peace. <\/span>Would she tear the curtains tonight? <\/span>I tied her up right next to my bed so I could intervene immediately in case of trouble. <\/span>This morning everything was “comme il faut”. <\/span>What an easy dog anyway.
\n<\/span>A Dutch saying says: dawn has gold in\u00a0its mouth. That’s for sure, like one can see<\/span> on all promotional vacation pictures of Norway. <\/span>24 Km., Esp. on bike paths along the road, close to the sea. <\/span>My difficulty factor, girlfriend Tosca, was fairly docile. <\/span>Probably she thought, if I can be difficult for Harry,\u00a0I also can\u00a0for Francien. <\/span>Tosca\u00a0ran right\u00a0in front of Francien, who fell down o<\/span>n her head so that her broken jaw\u00a0got a new\u00a0a blow and\u00a0she got\u00a0a big bump above her left eye. <\/span>But like a true Degens (her husband’s name) she quickly got up and continued her journey. <\/span>So you become unintentionally pilgrim. <\/span>The path of a pilgrim is not over rozes .\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>Early,\u00a0at 4 am., we reported\u00a0at our Ersgard farm. <\/span>We could choose from the pilgrim’s hut, 150 m. further into the jungle, without electricity or water, but with a\u00a0wood stove, or an apartment with everything\u00a0along in an outbuilding. <\/span>We\u00a0chose the latter. <\/span>Tosca in a\u00a0garage overlooking the “plei” (courtyard). <\/span>That caused a lot of barking at the 4\u00a0cats of the landlady.<\/span><\/span>For the rest no other emergencies today. The usual evening activities:\u00a0preparing food, blog, route planning,\u00a0are there\u00a0shops tomorrow and the day after? So there are not. Do you want to eat the next couple days, then you have to drag that food along. Writing and meanwhile chatting, showering, washing clothes, doing bauseke (sleeping). Tomorrow to Boras, Wednesday to Markabygd, Thursday Munkeby or directly to Stiklestad. Otherwise Friday Stiklestad.<\/span><\/p>\n
