that in fine weather the scenery is very beautiful.
The rain continued steadily, but had quite lost its
power of annoyance; we now had become so well
acclimatized that only its ridiculous aspects were
visible.
We passed many fine waterfalls, and I find in
my notes especial mention of one that the men
who came with us to take back the horses called
the “ Ulda Foss.” We saw it just before reaching
the Jolster Yand. It resembles the Ruikan Foss,
and from the distance appeared as fine, but may
not usually have the same magnitude as during
this weather.
At last, after about sixteen hours of climbing,
driving, and boating in continuous rain, we reach
our destination, Nedre Vasenden station, at the
lower end of the lake. Solid leather bags and
portmanteaus, thick mackintosh coverings, and
everything else were wetted through; books, &c.,
inside did not escape. We could not have halted
anywhere nearer for the night, the best of the
intermediate stations being Schey orOvre Vasenden,
which is accurately described by Bennett as follows:
“ No inn, but three fair beds (two with sheets) may
be had at the station. Neither food nor spoons.”
Tourists on this road should carry food with them
on starting.
