Day 26: Some waterfall in Norway When we woke up for our last morning in the Arctic circle we were excited about the adventure ahead… …that being an 70-100km drive whilst Doris had her low fuel light on. Sketchy and very stupid but we managed to make it. Just. We made the journey after a […]

Day 25: Back at the Arctic Circle, Norway. This morning was an early wake up call because we had a ferry to catch. We couldn’t really make sense of the partly converted Norwegian website but we thought the first ferry was around 10:30. Being sensible we decided we wanted to be down by the ferry […]

Day 24: Reine, Lofoten. A peaceful night by the ocean and we both managed a good sleep. Not sure about those who slept in the tents and cars that were parked around us when we woke up though! Mind you, I could think of worse places to pitch a tent and stay the evening! After […]

Day 23: Moskenesoya, Lofoten, Norway. We lost our view pretty early on last night and were surrounded by fog for the rest of the evening. We didn’t expect to wake up to clear blue skies and an unbelievable view that we had forgotten we had! Mountains all around us, glass like water in front of […]

Day 22: Moskenesoya, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Last night wasn’t the best night sleep to be fair. We were parked near the main road (the only one) and some passing cars whilsting near our ears made it a restless night to say the least. To be fair though, I’d park here again and again with views […]

Day 21: Svolvaer, Lofoten Islands, Northern Norway. Yesterday was pretty much a write off. We didn’t do anything other than drive an hour or so to a campsite. Paid our fees. Hooked Doris up on electric and made the most out of the free WiFi. Hiking mountains that are already scary in the low cloud, […]

Day 19: Andoya, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Another lie in this morning which was greatly welcomed. It’s weird how we struggled so much with sleep for the first couple of weeks and now we’re doing just fine. Albeit falling to sleep later, but we’re definitely keeping our sleep hours up, which is important. To our surprise […]

Day 18: Senja, Norway. It turns out our luck has changed and the clouds had covered the mountains pretty much overnight. It’s crazy though because the landscape is still incredibly beautiful. With cloud shrouding over the mountain peaks and slowly rolling into the fjord below, it gives it a different, but still beautiful feel. Thankfully […]

Day 17: Senja, Northern Norway. 3:45AM and we were up and ready to go for the day. Well, one of us was and that one wasn’t me. Another hour or so sleep and I was ready for the day. Whether I was ready or not I was getting up as the sun was glaring through […]

Day 16: Senja, Northern Norway Turns out we ran out of water this morning. Only really finding out when Nat went to wash the pots after our morning coffee. Not too much of a drama as we’ve always got some bottles filled with water for cooking and for the most important thing, coffee. It just […]
