We began today by looking round the interesting Stave Church at Lom.
This is very popular and many people had the same idea. Nevertheless, we
were able to look round before the church closed as there was going to
be a wedding in the afternoon. We enjoyed a coffee and cake inside
Bakaret as the rain came on. It was hopping in there, but Dougal found
us a table where we could sit sipping our coffee and nibbling our cakes.
We thought we would try and take a drive up into the mountains, but
wherever we went, the weather was fairly bad – no views. We did get to
cabin where we stopped for tea, looking out across the lake to the
peaks. Eventually we came back to the main road and called in to see the
Saga Column, which was erected in its present position in 1992. It had
been intended to sit outside parliament when it was designed in 1926.
and it represents Norwegian history from 872 -1814. There was,
apparently some controversy about it and it wasn’t until 1992 when Mr.
Elveseter gave it a home here in Bovredal. It is 34m high with Viking
lord on the top.
