Sunrise 3:36 We had a calm night in a peaceful meadow near a white sandy beach. Of course, it was raining again, but we were hopeful that weather would improve over the day, since Accuweather promised us 8 hours without rain, not sun, but at least no rain. We followed the road to the sandy… Continue reading Norway – a country of waterfalls, mountains and fjords
The arrival to the Lofoten
Sunrise 3:10 This morning we woke up to the grey sky of a rainy morning. We ate breakfast and started the journey. This day we started by driving around some fjords and we discovered how the people of Norway get their electricity. They put the electricity high voltage cable from one side of the fjord… Continue reading The arrival to the Lofoten
Whales are big, but hard to spot when you want to see them
Sunrise 3:13 We woke up extra early today, because a very interesting day was about to begin. We were going to see the whales today!!!

A rainy day in Stø
Sunrise: 2:58 (even though the sun did not decide to show till 2 p.m) We hadn’t had a lot of rain till yesterday and for now it could not stop us.

Mostly driving day…
Sunrise 2:46 We started the day with a longer sleep in, even though this does not mean that we had a long night. Night was actually shortened by the local group of fisherman and their spouses who decided to move a heavy wooden table and benches in the middle of the night from our parking… Continue reading Mostly driving day…

Beginning of our way to Lofoten
Sunrise 1:18 Days are flying by faster and faster. It feels like it was yesterday, that we begun our journey and not a week and a half ago. We finally have our sunset again (even if not for very long) and because of it is a little easier to fall asleep. We woke up and… Continue reading Beginning of our way to Lofoten
The never-ending roads of Norway
Sunrise: because of the missing sunset, there was also no sunrise As promised mum woke us as soon as the sun came out, unfortunately this happened at 7 a.m. I am really not an early bird, therefore I struggled to wake up, as well as all the other children. We probably needed more than 10… Continue reading The never-ending roads of Norway
Welcome to the North Cape
Today we slept in a National Park near Inari. There was crazy many mosquitos as long as we parked in the sun, so we decided to move to a more shadowy place. With the help of a lot of spray, sprayed on the mosquito nets and Matea’s “Geissenstecker” we had a peaceful night without any… Continue reading Welcome to the North Cape
