  • 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

    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

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

  • Way to Skansen and the Day This far

    Way to Skansen and the Day This far

    I had a wonderful trip on the Djurgårdsfärjan this morning. From the ferry I even saw Juno, a former steam ship, now motor vessel built in 1874 to traffic the Göta Kanal, side by side with one of the modern passenger ferries trafficking the Stockholm archipelago. The view onto Gamla Stan from the stern of…

  • Just another beautiful sunny summer day in Stockholm

    Just another beautiful sunny summer day in Stockholm

    Avid readers of my Blog will know what’s coming up… I toll the tunnelbana to Slussen this morning and got on the ferry to Djurgården. The morning is sunny, bright, warm with a lovely breeze. As it is still early, it’s not too crowded as well. Just to my liking. I’m going to visit Skansen…
