Once you have been to Norway you will never forget its beauty, but. there is something else you will forget. That is the food. The huts or hotels. where you will spend the night may often seem bare, and in the Jotunheim. even crude, but you will forget that once you have eaten.

Supper and breakfast are very similar, bd the guests help them- selves from a table in the middle of the room laden with every kind of food. You will find it difcult to control your animal sensation when you have come in from long tramp to that
