Because we were frozen solid the night before we decided we would stay in cabins from now on because the money saved was not worth a shivering sleepless night.  We were headed to Voss, the outdoor activity capital of Norway and were hoping for similar excitement like in Queenstown New Zealand.  We arrived at the tourist info expecting a plethora of exciting choices laid out in front of us and we were particularly interested in some white water rafting.  The rafting trips needed more than 2 people and apparently it was out of season and they could not find enough tourists to join us.  We were a bit disappointed but continued our search for an activity.  We debated going para-sailing, but I’ve always thought para-sailing was not worth the money since the ride was always quite short.  In the end we decided to play golf, riveting, I know, since we thought it wasn’t going to be too expensive and would occupy our whole day.  Once everything was added though, cart rental, balls, entrance, it came out to a hefty fee.  I guess we should not have expected anything less in Norway.  I had fun but Hedrick was frustrated.

That night we slept in a cabin on a campsite, Tvinde Camping (http://www.tvinde.no/) underneath a massive gorgeous waterfall, which was part of its charm.  When we checked in, in the evening we wondered why there were many tourist stalls that sold junk like horned Viking helmets and toy reindeer and we poked fun that all these people with their campers must buy a lot of junk.
