Six weeks in which we&#8217;ve laughed at road-mad reindeer, craned our necks at sea eagles high above, spotted a clumsy elk, caught a bucket load of pollock in a maelstrom and had lots of laughs with lots of fellow motorhome-dwellers. It&#8217;s been\u00a0a blast, a smashing adventure for us.<\/p>\n<p>OK, enough reminiscing for now. Nipping back a couple of days: we were asleep, completely alone, below the Holmvassdammen. Or, more correctly, we were awake, half the night, flinching at the about-to-collapse\u00a0dam-breaking silence. Ju had pondered what would happen if a large chunk of glacier fell into the far end of the lake: would it breach the dam? Almost certainly\u00a0not was my thinking, but the seed was set for a night&#8217;s fearful imaginings, knowing a gazillion tonnes of water brooded above, desperate to wash us down the valley. I must get my copy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/0091907071\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=0091907071&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=outoamilieuwa-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Feel the Fear and do It Anyway<\/a> when we get home and re-read it! 5am came round and I pulled back the curtains to see nothing. White. Fog smothered\u00a0us in a\u00a0cotton wool embrace. I imagined leaping from the van naked and running about: no-one would ever see me (there was no-one for miles anyway), but would I ever find Zagan again? Come 9am when we finally woke, the fog was gone, but as we were still blissfully alone, we had a cheeky naked run round Zagan again, giggling like nippers.

This time we needed to exit the scene via the construction tunnel, an unlit pot-holed thing which we were most grateful wasn&#8217;t full of fog as we bounced down it with main beam picking out a path. Out and into light, a few km of open air lifted us before we were back into tunnel, 8km of it, this time well lit and flat. Norway needs these holes clawed out through\u00a0rock for traffic to flow, but entering them feels like stepping into claustrophobia. As the light washes over us on exiting each of them, the sky and mountains feel\u00a0wide-open, lifting and limitless.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23457\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23457\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23457\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSC09048-1024x549-1024x549.jpg\" alt=\"Coming to Norway?
