Cloudy Places to Eat an Apple


I expected Norway to be a drizzly place, don't get me wrong. And I appreciate that I spent about two weeks here in May under blue skies. But recently, it's the timing of the rain has been demotivating the last few days.

Hiking up a hill, blazing sun. At the top of Aksla at sunset, cloud and drizzle. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean Highway - drizzle. Waiting at Vestnes for the ferry an hour earlier - sunny. Driving into Trondheim in the afternoon traffic - sunny. Walking back up the hill from the old town - raining. 11pm and trying to go to sleep - sunny.



But there have still been many good places to eat an apple. I've had an apple and nuts in many scenic places on this trip so far. Today's view while I ate was this:

It was still sodden in Trondheim this morning. We couldn't even sit down to eat cereal and yoghurt by the festung to watch the sunrise.

I love trees. They're tall and stoic, so I relate to them. I feel a sense of serenity and belonging when walking beneath an ancient forest canopy and that is not just because most ancient forest canopies I've walked under have been adjacent to a thriving craft beer industry

While taking a holiday was supposed to be an escape from much of life's routines, I was not expecting to abstain from eating almonds for over a week. Finally this weekend I have resumed my almond and apple morning teas in the presences of some grand waterfalls in Springbrook and Lamington National Parks.

This morning we climbed to the summit of Meraftafjellet, east of Ă…lesund. We have done a lot of hiking this trip so far and a lot of inclines but this hike felt like the first time we'd actually climbed a mountain.
