Day 15: Abisko, somewhere really far north in Sweden. If you were wondering the answer to the question, it’s me. I’m the idiot. It rained all night. I like the sound of rain but it sounds weird on top of Doris. Kinda noisier, harsher and makes me realise we’re likely stuck inside for the day […]

Day 14: Kiruna, inside the Arctic Circle, Sweden. After I’d hit publish on the blog last night we headed out for a little wander and to the lake that was nearby us. For the first time in our trip the sun was not going to set on the same day. How crazy is that? It […]

Day 13: Arvidsjaur, Swedish Lapland. With the light rain and low cloud combination last night it meant that it actually went dark. Well, I say dark, slightly overcast but enough to get rid of the glaring midnight sun and actually allow us to get a little bit of sleep. We’ve been experimenting with sleeping downstairs […]

Day 11: Harnosand, Sweden. Potentially the worst night to date. Not only did we not get to sleep until late but we also got woken up earlier than ever. 4:45AM we headed something on the roof. The culprit? Possibly a little mouse or rodent. He scurried, ran, jumped and generally had a blast but all […]

Day 10: Somewhere in the middle of Sweden. This morning started really early. 6AM kinda early. I was woken by the sound of work men and their vans, diggers and trucks. I dropped out of bed and headed to the toilet, come back to peep through the window to see men hard at work. Must […]

Day 09: Stockholm, Sweden. We’ll rewind todays blog to last night. We’re consciously trying to get out in the evening and enjoy the midnight sun and all its glory. We couldn’t not get out on the bikes and to cycle around the beautiful lake that was besides us. Very glad we did as once again […]

Day 08: Norrkoping, Sweden. Usually the blog starts with our morning, how much coffee we drank, did we or did we not lie in bed till 10AM and did we get out of Doris and on the road before midday. Today’s edition is a little different as I want to rewind to just after I […]

Day 06: Raa, Sweden. Another morning being woken up by the heat and the glaring sun. I mean there are worse ways to wake up of course. That and when your view is a port, with beautiful water and passing boats. There are a lot of ways to spend your Sunday morning that could be […]

Day 06: Ribe, Denmark. Whether we just hadn’t noticed this for the last few days or whether it was because we’re further North AND because it was Mid Summers eve, it was still light at nearly midnight last night. CRAZY! We had a great nights sleep with the chorus of moaning and groaning cows in […]

Day 05: Torp, Denmark. I have to say last nights camping place was probably one of the best we’ve had. Quiet and with the soft sounds of the river flowing besides us we both managed a really good sleep. Fortunately though we managed to get up early too, before 8AM! Coffees and showers done and […]
