My dream to visit Norway came true. I’ve taken the plane to Bergen and the train to Voss. In Voss I took the bus to Granvin and through Vallavik and after a tunnel of 7, 5 kilometres I reached my destination Djønno, situated in Hordaland. In Djonno I’ve stayed for two weeks. From my wooden house in Djonno I had a fantastic view over the Hardanger fjord. It was so quiet, not comparable with the Netherlands. The nature was breathtakingly beautiful. It was like a dream, a fairytale.

This is paradise in winter. Then sit back, cup of soup in hand, and ga…
