Although the title of this post is ‘rest day’, we don’t sit on our bottoms all day long. Every evening I have written notes about the day, the pictures I have taken and the people we have met. So today I wrote everything onto the computer and took an online backup, charged camera batteries and telephone batteries, transferred pictures to the computer, tested a Chinese Nokia phone to see if I could get online with it to update this website when we are walking.

We also washed our clothes and made adjustments to our equipment. I installed a program for this web site that should enable me to make daily (!) updates of the site when we are walking. I will have to use the Norwegian SIM card and will have to check how much this costs after a week, to make sure it is not killing my budget for the trip.
