Lillehammer-Røros
sleep was interrupted several times by the roar of the rain. Even when we wake up, at 08.30, stops raining. We decide to head towards the Olympiaparken , which hosts the Olympic venues of 1994, still in use today. Infrastructure suggests that in Lillehammer winter turns into a real tourist center, with several skiers. We get to the Olympic ski jump and even in the pouring rain, we are fortunate to be able to take some pictures to some athletes who train on the trampoline smaller. The torch which housed the Olympic flame stands before the arrival of the jump.
The downpour forced us to take shelter inside the camper. We moved a couple of miles to the Mauhaugen , the most important folk museum of the state, which, according to the guide, well worth a visit. Unfortunately, once they arrive at their destination, the water comes down in buckets. The museum is all outdoors, with dirt streets and will surely be swamped. Nothing to do: after waiting a good half hour spiovesse, killing time with some playing cards, we take for losers and we go down in the city, for a final round since that time passes and we have to respect the roadmap .
The main street of Lillehammer, Storgata , is a busy country road, where the prevalence of shops selling sports or young children. We stop at the town library to take advantage of free internet access, in order to buy ferry tickets return from Kristiansand to Hirtshals (DK). From there, we will continue to avoid the bridge came. The money we saved with the complimentary use them to stop at a bakery where we buy a superb braid pastry with apples, cinnamon and icing sugar together with a sandwich with cheese and corn, that we devour on the way to the camper.
Destination Røros . Before resuming the E6 towards Trondheim, do we have to stop for fuel, then discovering the prohibitive prices of petrol Norwegian (almost € 80 full). Since the highway is always the same, after about fifty km decide to stop for lunch. Given the cold and the rain made during the morning, we treat ourselves to a hot meal: risottone in foil with mushrooms and tomato. Finally, quite a few slices of veal with tuna sauce, now permanent presence at our table, and Paul bought a piece of braid in the morning. We forgive immediately start to address the E6, when Tom suddenly indicates a right turn. We pass a state that begins to rise so steeply, initially to very dense woods, to give way to a plateau with mountain vegetation, dominated by mosses and lichens. The view is fantastic, if it were not for the intermittent rain and cold (we are certainly below 10 ° C), it would be nice to take a break. After about 60 km, we decide to stop, however, to take some pictures of these places, at first sight inhospitable. We have top of the hill and rejoins the main road No. 3 with a state much longer and more easily negotiated, along thick woods and signals of 'danger crossing reindeer. " We arrive at Røros, an important mining town that retains the old town, with wooden houses perched on the ridge of the hill. This village has been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site and because we realize it as soon as you enter. Is 18.00 and the mileage 36786 km mark, that is precisely where we started from 2104. Since it is still early and the sky was serene, there is a parking intended for campers, free (along the N30, about 160 km SE of Trondheim, via Storem towards Tynset. Free parking is reserved for parking the only camper. Ben pointed out, behind the station. Peaceful. GPS: N-62.57357 E-11.46347) , a few hundred meters from the main street. We decide to take a ride before dinner. With great surprise we find an unexpected vitality. 
In central Kjerkegata there is a kind of town fair with stalls, music and people in costume. On the way there are so many people and is a nice way to end this day. We find a shop that sells local products and we believe a must, because, to attract our attention, we are in full view featured six plates with as many samples of salami. We could perhaps excuse ourselves from buying two samples? In addition, we also find the famous "blue cheese" in a version that, according to the manager of the shop, has just won a prestigious award in a national festival. Two more steps cheered by the music, with a ride in a sports store, where Paul bought a pair of pants technicians, and then back to the camper for dinner. It's nearly 20.30. The evening ends with a nice hot shower and lights up the stove, because the temperature drops quickly.
