| 21 miles |
A latish start as we were planning to travel not too far today. Sunny and warming up again and we eventually got away 11.40, reflecting that this was perhaps one of the best "wildcamps" we've used, to the point that we wouldn't have minded staying over an extra night. But ever onwards and back to the main road and sort of southish, the usual few tunnels, one 3km underwater, various bridges and one electric ferry, which again was just coming in so we didn't have to wait long. This is a pay ferry but using the Autoferry Pass we get a 50% discount, worth going to the trouble of arranging it before leaving home.

| Campsite from across the fjord |
Only a short run then to the campsite we'd picked out last night, Saltkjelsnes Camping at Eidsbygda - oh how glad we are that Norwegians are taught English from first grade! We booked in for 3 nights then found a pitch close to the fjord shoreline, a bit sticking out but hopefully not too exposed. A few kids were enjoying a beach and swimming cove just behind us - looks tempting! The site has all facilities including a washing machine and dryer which we need so while Terry was organising lunch Bren got started on a couple of loads and by late afternoon all was washed, dried and put away. Magic! Might do another load of bedding tomorrow then we're fine until we get home.
Sat out in the sun for an hour with ice-creams but the sky gradually clouded over and the breeze turned just a tad too cool to be enjoyable so put the chairs etc away and inside for tea. The forecast is for light rain overnight, fine tomorrow but more rain expected Thursday night. Whatever, we need a break from travelling and this will do us just fine.
