  • Moskenes Day 2

    Moskenes Day 2

    The night was windy. With gusts up to 18 m/s the camper was rocking back and forth during the night. It is still quite windy this morning and even the ferry departures have been cancelled until 14.45. After our morning walk Ronja is now lying outside enjoying the chilly winds. And I’m looking at the…

  • Lofoten Moskenes

    Lofoten Moskenes

    Today (July 14 as this didn’t upload last night) was a long day. I arrived in the middle of the night and had to find a spot to park my camper for the rest of the night. Of course, the islands are crowded this time of year. I drove down to Å, the last/first village…

  • Lofoten

    It’s now 3.30 in the morning of the 14th of July. I have arrived on the Lofoten islands, parked up my camper in Å, and now I will try to catch some sleep. More tomorrow.

  • Bodø ferry tonight

    Bodø ferry tonight

    Sometimes plans change as you make them. I thought about spending one last night in Sweden, before catching a ferry from Bodø to the Lofoten islands, but then I drove on after my lunch break. I was thinking about staying over in Fauske, but the camper parking place was full. After a walk with Ronja…

  • Lunch break

    Lunch break

    Finally found a spot for a lunch break. Ronja enjoyed the water in the lake and I ate a slice of bread. Now we’re airing the camper and I am thinking about whether to push through to Norway or stay one last night in Sweden. With the ferry situation in mind, I’d prefer to drive…

  • Leg 2 – Towards Norway

    Leg 2 – Towards Norway

    I‘m starting my day this sunny morning preparing the camper for the trip towards Norway. I am taking another passenger onboard for the journey. We might stay another night in Sweden or drive through to Norway in the afternoon. Let’s see what the trip will bring.

  • Ronja badar

    Ronja badar

    After getting a few things done in the morning (parts of my shopping meaning the parts of it I didn’t forget…), I went for a lunch time walk with Ronja. With 23° and bright sunshine, it’s already too warm for her. But we went to the river so that Ronja could cool herself in the…

  • Destination One reached

    Destination One reached

    After I had woken up early yesterday, I left Stockholm a little bit past 6 in the morning. On my lunch break I could estimate that I would reach my stopover at just over 14.15 and once I was there I decided to drive on. So I did the 900 km in just under 12…

  • Northbound, even further

    Northbound, even further

    Getting ready for Leg 2 (split into two parts). 640 km up north to Umeå planned for today.
