Almost a year has passed since we landed in Japan, and we have visited many places, but we still haven’t gone to Nara and seen the famous deers. So we jumped on the train and headed east. We didn’t really have anything specific we wanted to see or do in Nara. But obviously the tame […]
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 […]

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 […]
Welcome to the land of the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun, the Salmon, the Fjords, the Oil, Peer Gynt and hundreds of black metal bands… This is Norway! A quick little prologue before we get going. We started planning this road trip ages ago. Many things have been pinned on Google Maps we couldn’t possible […]
