Perhaps an ever so slight improvement. At least the short walk across Hellen festning was not as though as the day before. It was still more than far enough though.

Halfway through my Saturday hike in Sveio , it became clear that something was just not right. I did not have the normal energy level and even this relatively short hike was much harder than it ought to be. The flu-like symptoms increased during the evening and by the Sunday morning there was no doubt: this Easter holiday would not turn out as planed... Days of skiing in Sogndal were instead replaced by long days on the couch interspersed with nights of little to no quality sleep. The complete loss of smell and taste did not help either. Only after 4.5 days did I managed to muster enough energy to just barely push myself across Hellen festning.

My initial plan for the Saturday afternoon had been to travel to Eikelandsosen for a visit of Vetlavardhytto , but due to the recently "improved" bus connection between Bergen and Gjermundshamn (where the earlier direct bus line had been replaced by a three (or thirty-three) minutes transfer at Osøyro), I ended up missing the bus from Osøyro to Eikelandsosen by less than two minutes and quickly had to come up with a plan B. Two minutes later I was therefore on the first bus back to Lagunen. Here I switched to the tram to Flesland and after this long detour I was finally ready for the short walk to the top of Lilandshaugen . Interestingly, Lilandshaugen has to be the Bergen summit with the largest sign, i.e. the infamous "BERGEN?" sign welcoming visitors as they exit the main terminal at Flesland. >>>
