Drove from Oslo to Drammen and waited for the others to arrive. Lovely camping ground by the river and again we were bemused by the caravan park process. Yet again it was a public holiday and people were all out and about. Had a long chat with an ex-pat Australian who had been living in Norway for 25 years. Again the park was filled with very expensive cars. The caravans are parked with no particular arrangement - wherever they can fit - and do not have sullage points. Once again showers cost extra - we used our own. Everyone has dogs and they take them everywhere.
Set off the next day towards Preikestolen - didn't make in one day and camped on a river bank. We were warned that it takes time to travel fairly short distances in Norway because of the roads. It was not surprising given our track through the mountains where most of the road was not wide enough to have a centreline. Travelled through lush green farmland and over mountain passes with snow banks higher than the truck. Had to stop once and pull in the passenger side mirror to get past another motorhome.
Along the road we descended through one valley - started at 720m dropped to 65m and then climbed back the other side to 790m - in 2nd gear doing all of 12kph.
