Norway – Page 8 – Alive and Trekking

First rain

The first and only bit of solid rain my friend and I had during our little three-day roadtrip in middle Norway, was in Ålesund.

I promised her to come and visit her in Norway, and this summer I did! Before flying up to visit her, I first spent a few days in Oslo. She lived inContinueContinue reading “First day in Oslo”

After the rain

Climb like a goat

It won’t be too hard, she said…Never believe a Norwegian when it comes to describing how difficult a hike is going to be! 🙂 Hiking is in their DNA, they grow up with the outdoors. Me…let’s just say that my mind wanted more than my body felt capable ofContinueContinue reading “Climb like a goat”
