The first day I arrived in Preikestolen I was greeted with a very stubborn rain storm. I knew I couldn't hike up to pulpit rock as planned, so I figured I'd just wait it out in the lobby. 4 hours later after a rather embarrassing but much needed nap, I awoke to still more rain. Around 4 o'clock it finally cleared up enough to walk around. The only problem, I did not bring my hiking boots. Instead I was sporting the equivalent to slippers with soles, but they worked out just fine. In fact, when I started my mini 2 hour hike around the lake I realized that they were the perfect water shoes. Had it been 10 degrees cooler though I would have been in trouble. No one was going to get through a hike that day dry, so instead of having 4 pound boots turn into 8 pound water weights, mine remained relatively light!

This is where I decided to turn back.

Here is the view from the hostels lobby. Not bad ey?
