Svolvær
We had a nice and dry morning walk, but as we were driving to Svolvær it was raining the whole time. I bought some groceries on the way in and waited for the rain to clear. We had a nice stroll around the small town. The air is fresh, but as soon as the sun…

Lofoten Beach Camp
The weather this afternoon is ghastly. Winds at around 7 m/s and heavy rain doesn‘t make you want to go anywhere. I‘ll see how Ronja feels about the rain in a bit. We arrived at Lofoten Beach Camp in the morning and found an empty spot for the camper. It‘s the second time we‘re arriving…

Djupforsen
Our day was uneventful today. After our morning walk clouds brought a bit of rain and I had to talk Ronja into coming back into the camper. In the afternoon we went for a walk to Djupforsen. The sights – as everywhere – are just stunning. The walk itself was unfortunately not very spectacular, but…

Moskenes Day 2
The night was windy. With gusts up to 18 m/s the camper was rocking back and forth during the night.

And I’m looking at the…

Lofoten Moskenes
Today (July 14 as this didn’t upload last night) was a long day. I arrived in the middle of the night and had to find a spot to park my camper for the rest of the night. Of course, the islands are crowded this time of year. I drove down to Å, the last/first village…

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
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
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.
