As we head north it was starting to get a tad chillier – I suppose that happens when you head above the Arctic Circle. One of the lovely little towns we happened to travel through was Dombas, or dumbarse to us. For no particular reason other ... Read more >

An early morning that was definitely worth it. Today would have to have been my favourite day of the trip. After the early start we went for a drive up the craziest road on earth. The trolls pass. Home of the famous troll’s bridge made famous by the ... Read more >

I’ve been on the Olympic bobsled run at Lillehammer. Granted it was not exactly icy at the time and our bobsled had wheels but I don’t care it was brilliant! As we travelled further north from Oslo we stopped at Lillehammer to have ... Read more >

We stayed at a lake that is the property of Jorund Valebjorg. He lives in Valebjorg. He owns a lot of the seas in the Holmvatn-area and is a very very firm and gentle farmer and fisher.. Settlers came only 200 years ago to that region, and his ancestors ... Read more >

On a rock close to the sea you place your tent. You feel so free. (and could not have done otherwise for all the swamp around you!) The dragonflies swirl and mate chasing food, observing you. The look and ask "Who are you?" The ... Read more >

"Go to that place, it's wonderful! It is my uncle's place", she said. Her uncle spoke "You can come and guide the people, and sell fish - not too much! Earn good money, and enjoy your time." We were so excited. We took ... Read more >

As you return from a lake where every now and then - like every month - a man comes and says "I like this nature here, please let me stay for some time in harmony, lightly touching the ground, humming "Don't be afraid, all is grace.... Read more >

Boring title I know but what else can I say? Norway was quite simply the most beautiful place that I have ever been in my entire life. To be honest before we got to Norway I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew about Norway were brief spiels from ... Read more >

First thing that happened after my last post was my birthday, which was nice. For my meal, Emma and I decided to make Anders and Agnete a traditional Aussie meal, so we whipped up some rissoles with 3 veg and gravy followed by a pavlova. I had to ... Read more >

I
was sad to leave Lofoten behind but managed to drag myself to the

(to a town called Bodo). Ferry ride was nice – sunny, beautiful
scenery and ... Read more >

We
were lucky to get a clear night on my last night in A (also my last night north of the Arctic circle and last chance to catch the real midnight sun), so, after some digesting time (that fish was sooo good), the four
of us squashed into ... Read more >
