How nice to wake up somewhere that is familiar. Osavatnet is such a nice place and not discovered yet by the campervanning community.
We went for a short walk for Amanda to see for herself the tunnel into the mountainside. It's likely to be to do with regulating the level of the next lake above, Svartavatnet.
We then did a quick shop at the Kiwi mini market just south of Indre Arna and then Bratland Camping where were for a couple of nights a few days ago. Showers and electricity; a really nice friendly site.
From here, we can catch a bus into Bergen to explore.

Well, it's good to be back, but I'm so pleased to have been able to get back to the UK for my cousin's funeral, and to catch up with family. Travelling did seem to take a long time yesterday - I set out just before 2pm and got into Bergen Airport just before midnight local time, and in that time only spent 2hrs 20 minutes actually in the air - but it was lovely to wake up this morning in such a peaceful setting surrounded by mountains and with the sound of tumbling water nearby.

A very leisurely start to the day, and a walk so that Geoff could show me this tunnel through the mountainside. I can quite see how astonishing it must have been to come across it unexpectedly, and why it made him think of Bond films with underground caverns where trucks beetle around in operations designed by a villain who is planning to take over the world. However, more mundanely, it appears to be a tunnel designed for access for maintenance purposes to a system carrying water through the mountain between two reservoirs on different levels. So riddle solved, I think.
It was lovely to see the scenery as we wove our way back down the way we had come up in the dark last night to do a shop for supplies and then head for Bratland Camping, where we were at the beginning of the week, in the hope of finding ourselves a space there for a couple of nights. So, here we are again, in a nice little pitch, with time to unwind and plan the next three weeks!
