Travelogues Norway

August 12, 2024 Oslo Today, we only disembarked around 11:00 AM. I had purchased a ticket for the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus, which I and several other passengers boarded shortly after....

A rainy day. Just right for getting to the next place, relaxing, and nursing the sore muscles. John has planned the route and found a nice spot in Haugesund. Halfway to Bergen....

This Tuesday was all about two attractions. First, we participated in a bird safari. We took a minibus from Honningsvåg to Gjesvær and then a small ship to the bird islands off...

Since the sun quickly heated up the house, we had breakfast outside today. It remained a pleasant 17 degrees after yesterday's 24. Since there were still 2 fish in the fridge,...

Today we took a detour via Finland to Karasjok, the "capital" of the Sami people. At least the Sami parliament is located here. The journey through Finland was characterised by...

After Tromsø the next morning we should dock again in the Lofoten, in Reine, and visit a small fishing village there. But then the sea was rougher than expected and the captain...

We're driving through the winter. There are sometimes whales, sometimes whales to “see”: because we are told where, we can guess, a dorsal fin, the small fountain, sometimes so...

After a perfectly punctual train ride on Friday and then a bus through Wilhelmsburg, we arrived at the ship, the Hurtigruten Otto Sverdrup. Nice exit from the port of Hamburg,...

Norway's mainland is getting narrow up here in the north.

Cozy reading in the morning, with a cup of coffee, listening to some music, also has something to it! In the afternoon, we were refreshed, showered, and ready to travel. At the...

Two days ago we left Stavanger. Actually, Bergen was next on the plan. But after 2 days, our need for "people" was satisfied (Remember: We actually don't like big cities 😅😂)...

Well-rested, we continue our journey the next morning at 9:30 am and arrive in Fitjar around 3 pm, about 280 km later. On the way, we pass through Egersund, Stavanger, and...

Unfortunately, the sky was very cloudy this morning as well. Nevertheless, we wanted to take a closer look at the Øksfjordjøkelen (glacier). We had to lace up our hiking boots...

Today we started the day very active: Since we had to leave the campsite by one o'clock at the latest, we had to wake up shortly after seven. Not everyone was happy about that....

If we had seen yesterday in what kind of environment our parking space was located, we would never have stopped there. Fortunately, it is Sunday and the construction site where...

I don't even know where to start - actually, nothing happened today at all! ;) The day started with a lot of wind but also with sunshine for the first time in a long time, and...

Last night we had the heating on for the first time and even Juliane found it pleasantly warm - this has to be mentioned here because it's a rarity ;) The morning started early,...

We were lucky when we spontaneously left the vehicle convoy behind the 'Ledebil'. Just to explain, on construction sites on 'busier' sections of roads, the accumulated vehicles...

The morning was quite rainy, so we took the day slowly. Sleeping in after yesterday's exertions, having a good breakfast, doing household chores. We skipped the glacier museum...

The overnight ferry was entertaining and we arrived in Bodo around 3am. Anita mentioned that the sea was quite rough and the large ship was rocking heavily. The men were asleep...

Sunshine from early morning until evening. Today the weather was perfect for a hike. So we headed to A. Unfortunately, that was not only our plan, but also the plan of many,...

This week turned out to be completely different than expected. My friend Janine and her boyfriend Manu are also currently in Norway, and we have been in touch the whole time...

After visiting many stave churches, we leisurely traveled along the Telemark Canal towards Tønsberg. We took our time. The canal is located in the Telemark region of Norway and...

We left Oslo behind and continued towards Lom. Lom is a really tourist center. Ideal for hiking or skiing in winter. The only attraction there is the stave church. With an...

On the morning of 11.7.22 we drive from our small pitch just outside Trondheim about 15 minutes into the city. We actually find a free parking space below the Kristiansten Fort....

The small town of Flåm was not originally on our Norway bucket list, but we wanted to meet up with Nina and Mauri again, so now the four of us are sitting together in our cozy...

It's progressing! The unnecessarily present person has left the Arctic Circle today and has been amazed at how small the world is. So, the foetid guy there is dinging around in...

After a quick breakfast, we start on 30.6.22 to Norway's most famous rock formation: the 604m high square rock plateau Preikestolen. Of course, it's not just us who have this...
