The title of this entry could easily be “Daytrip to Amanohashidate” instead, because that’s where we spent most of our time on this trip. And how could you not, what an amazing place! And a lot more popular than I had imagined. This year to celebrate Megumis birthday we decided to take a little road […]
The evening before this hike, we were frantically searching through magazines and books detailing hikes in the area. We knew we wanted to go for a hike, we just didn’t know where we could go. The obvious choice was Rokko Mountain near Kobe, but most of the websites we saw described the hikes there as […]
The cherry blossom season is upon us. The time where everyone is seemingly happy. Everyone is outside, taking things slow, and taking photos of the Sakura, their dog and Sakura, their babies and Sakura, their car and Sakura… Anything with Sakura goes. There is honestly not much to say about this short time in spring […]
Day 7 of the road trip to Lofoten! Today we will be crossing the Arctic Circle, and end up in… well, the Arctic! Sounds very adventurous and might conjure up images of polar bears, dog sledding and igloos. But the Arctic is simply defined as the area north of where the sun barely comes up […]
Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare for us weather wise. A funny nightmare, but a nightmare non the less. Today however turned out to be a really enjoyable day. Arriving at our campground near Brønnøysund means we have started out trip up Helgelandskysten. I’ve been through here once before, and the two main points […]
This is the one post from our trip where we would really just advice you to watch the video instead of reading this blog entry. Number one reason, we didn’t get a chance to take many pictures. What was supposed to be a day of exploring Trondheim, became one of the wettest days on the […]
We woke to a pretty nice morning after our night in the cabin. The sun was shining, and we were excited for the day ahead. So we got some water boiling for our coffee and started making breakfast. As per usual we were having bread with brown cheese – caviar and cheese – and spekepølse […]
Day 3 of our Norwegian road trip would be taking us from Aurland, to Rondane; a large mountain area in Norway with 10 peaks reaching more than 2000 metres. But first we had a couple sights to see. The first of which was Stegastein viewpoint, a suspended platform that had been built on the old […]
Good morning! It’s a new day with new opportunities. We woke up early at our campsite. I was able to sleep quite well during the night, but Megumi struggled. So it was time to get some coffee into our bodies. Yesterday had been a pretty rough start to the trip, with not a lot of […]
Rise and shine, today is the day! Our Norwegian road trip adventure is about to begin. But first, a couple things need taking care of… I drove my dad to town so he could pick up the rental truck they would use to transport all their furniture and belongings up north. After we got back […]
