I * - 1 « < Traveling With The Mandigos by Richard and Barbara Mandigo Monday, September 22, 1986 Banner times-Page-13 State Officer To Visit Well.Kids-WhataDayl! Today all on board got a look at some of the most spectacular scenery that we are likely to encounter on the tour. After another awful early start, after what could be only described as another sleepless night for some at the camp ground we set off. While most were bleary eyed or asleep during the early stages of dur drive, others managed to stay awake and witness the changing scenery. Today started off beautifully with a sunny day which was to follow us on our journey north. All the anxious little travellers massed at the door of the coach on time and we set off bypassing the city centre. We travelled along roads that were not of motor way standard, but were however smooth, and had the added advantage of passing through small villages rather than bypassing them. Our first stop was at a pleasant service station where there was a large wooden carving of a Troll. During the latter part of the morning we were treated to some lovely scenery. Topography changed from cities to small country towns, where many buildings had slate roofs and other farms had roofs of grass (presumably for insulation). Mountains towered over us and we saw our first signs of snow in 'them there hills'. A big adventure for Julie-she saw snow for the very first time in her life, and was duly christened by it later in the arvo. We stopped at a little town called \Lum\ for lunch where there were some panoramic views and a 13th Century Church with some ancient tombstones. After lunch the fun began. We drove through high mountains and snow fields- stepping to take photos of the walls of snow lining the roads. Later in the day we were to go down a very steep incline to Geiranger where we set up camp near to the Geiranger Fjoid. Along the way we went through steep hair pin bends, leaving bits of bus scattered along the road. Finally we pulled into town to find the camp closed, but ihat didn't stop us. The weather was surprisingly warm considering the snow line was so close. This may be (or may not be) caused by heat from the Baltic Sea inverting with the atmosphere causing a sub thermal lift with a brim balas sphere over it, therefore causing a rift in ?5SF *-^l One of the ski slopes in Norway. the thermal area to impart a warm current of air over our tentside. We may also have been lucky! After dinner we went for a walk, a swing, and for some of us a cup of coffee (that had seen better days). There was a group who went up to the hotel above the town to live it up, and also to give their wallets some exercise. The warm air, a few drinks, and a nocturnal fear of being bored, found several members of our little group deciding to re-arrange camp at 1 a.m. in the morning, causing great confusion to the party goers coming back from the hotel a few hours later. A good day! Holds Annual A monument in Hammerfest Norway, commemorating the first time the circumference of the earth, was measured.
