My fourth visit to Norway was also my shortest - only 45 hours in total! I must be mad! Well, yeah, I am.

It was -1c or 30f when I let the cat out this morning. The sky was almost clear, and you could see the sun breaking thru the lower clouds in the distance. My car was all icey, and the the ground was partially covered in frost. For some reason the frost was sort of in sections on the ground. But m…

Our alarm went off at 7 am. After a tasty breakfast with hot fresh coffee we started to our next destination.

Today we reached the northernmost spot of our holiday thanks to a day trip to Mikkelvik. After our drive through a 1.7km long underwater tunnel we came to a lovely place at the back of beyond that was covered with shells (a collector wouldn’t have known where to bend first).   In the…

Mount Hananipa is sitated 714meters above the Sørfjord , which isnt a spectacular fjord, but the views are nonetheless stunning. You can drive upto 350meters and have to walk from there. To the place…
