Norway Summer 2018. Part XII

Lillehammer!

While Dad was looking after the caravan, we went to Hunderfossen Family Park and had a great time.

We met new friends, Milli and Masaki living in Stavern.

But it was very hot, so when we were back at the camp site, Mamma actually was having a dip in Guldbrandsdalslågen (the name of the river).

Hi again.

Over the last couple of days we have done more than 1000 km through Sweden. Good roads, but gosh so boring. Trees, trees and trees. They have a lot of them..

I am back to normal, now its Dad´s turn to have fever, soar throat and blocked nose. Leave him alone, he is not happy:-)

Today we are heading for Lillehammer, and plan to visit Hunderfossen Family Park https://hunderfossen.no/en/.

We plan to leave Dad to look after the caravan…

Although the pantry is small, Mum is doing a great job.

We are happy campers!

See you in a couple of days. (all depends on Dad´s condition…)

Norway Summer 2018. Part X

Yesterday we went from Kabelvåg in Lofoten, over Narvik and ended up in Gallivare in Sweden.

Me (Kim Johan) has not fully recovered from my flu and throat infection, my nose is still blocked…

We took a “few” pictures on our way here. Particularly the drive from Svolvær to Lødingen was very, very nice.

Here you go:

Had to wait for 4 hours for the ferry to Svolvær at Skutvik.

No problem, we spent our time in the caravan.

Norway Summer 2018. Part VII

Since yesterday we have gone from Trondheim to Krokstrand Camping in Rana next to Saltfjellet.

Stayed overnight there, nice quiet place, and today we have gone to Skutvik in Haramsøy.

37305692_1831382776899789_5410529396949778432_nBut I have catched a cold again, so I am not active as normal. I am actually flat out in the car or in the caravan, depending if we are driving or having a break.

BQ5A8481

Even the laptop is not so interesting when you have a real cold!

Here we come!

BQ5A8489

After hours, we start to see the landscape is changing.

BQ5A8483

Nice.

BQ5A8464

We had a visit by Eva and Erling which was great. Thanks for taking the time to see us, and thanks to Eva for playing bocca with us!

In the afternoon we visited Kari Berit, Pappa´s cousin sister.

Wow, we had a big meal, coffe and marsipan cake, and then ice cream and strawberries/raspberries, and on top of that we watched France beating Croatia 4 – 2.

Dad was so full, he could hardly drive the car.

Very happy to see her again, but a bit sad as we actually missed out to take a picture together with Kari Berit. Sorry! Next time – promise!!

Norway Summer 2018. Part V

Today (14. July) we have gone from close to Besseggen to Trondheim, Daddy´s home town.

Pretty long drive actually, but Dad said we have to get used to it. We will do similar stages for the next 2 weeks.

BQ5A8436

We wanted to have a dip…

BQ5A8437

Changed our mind!

BQ5A8443

Nice view.

BQ5A8447

When Dad ask her to be part of his Photoshoot, Mum is cool.

Norway Summer 2018. Part IV

Today we drove from Sandviken Camping in Tinn, all the way to Gjendesheim, up in the mountain of Norway.

We could see Besseggen, Galdhøpiggen og Glitretind on our way up here. The weather is still warm, but we have also had some rainshowers.

Mamma is all ready to climb the mountains again today, but we said no; we need her around.

Norway Summer 2018. Part III

We all should visit Gaustatoppen today.

Gaustatoppen. Some say it’s Norway’s most beautiful mountain.

But the train was down for maintenance, so the youngsters and the older gave in..

But Mum did not. She walked up and down, a 2 hr walk each way.

No surprise to us; we know she is a tough lady!!

It’s a 2 hr tough walk, each way.

At the top she had the best waffles ever!!

She met this 83 year old lady, also doing the trip alone.
