AUGUST 25th LEAVING STALHEIM FOR ULVICK Deci ed that, if we could get rooms at Ulvick we woud le ve Stalheim and go on. As nothing much to do here except look at the views nd CLIMB about. Had the usual heary laden Smorgesbrod-but this time with nohest to goodness electric toaster- so we had TOAST. We strolled around and went into the 'pill box" the Germans had built in a spot overlooking everything. Peeked into the so called museum- three little wooden houses grass roofs. filled with old wooden farm shovels, , buckets etc.It wou ld notbe open until 11 and anyway we have, by now, seen a number of these museums and somemvery fine ones. Sat on the terrace and talked with Mrs. Maxwell- Mr Clothier was out for a walk with three sturdy English girl girls.These girls walked 7 miles yesterday So we departed with a lunch, about noon. Southward. Huge blue busses were continuely wheeling up to the hotel before we left. Some having met the steamers and others coming over the roads from quite some distance. Along by the edge of the fjoyd we stopped to fish and to have out lunch. The lunch was HORRIBLE bad meat. I hope we don't catch anything from the one bite.Also no, fish. But a lovely place near some low water falls. But the little Sunkist oranges were all right Doodle on left side of page depicting a red bus with a person standing in front of it.

I thi nk Twin Falls'!!F om here 45 kilometres to Ulvick.The distances ar not great but the roads are narrow and winding- so one drives slowly therefore to go a few miles takes awhile To the right depicts two figures fishing with the caption:"Gail and Otto fish" To the left depicts three figures with rakes People in the fields raking up the hay. They do it three in a row and rake in unison. Smart , Voss, where we turned South. Quite a town Many neat new cement buildings and some industries.
