We’re currently working our way along the Helgeland coastline, which is connected by the longest of the Norwegian national tourist routes, Number 17. The variety of scenery is amazing, with mountain peaks, fjords and islands. We haven’t driven far today but we have taken two ferries through islands in the Helgeland archipelago. We woke very...

The scenery has been stunning today, and we’ve only touched a small piece of northern Norway. This is what we came for… mountains, lakes, fjords and wonderful views! The rain has also stopped and we’ve had lots of sunshine between white fluffy clouds. Now we’re so far north, there’s very little night. The sun won’t... Continue Reading →
Heavy rain in the night has continued throughout today. When we awoke, we were both a bit worried that Molly Moho might be stuck in the grass but she did us proud, and John drove off smoothly. After emptying the loo and the waste water tank, we were off to our next new country, Norway.... Continue Reading →
The journey was uneventful again today, with more quiet, smooth roads through forests and past lakes. The scenery changed a little though, becoming hillier and rockier with shorter, less dense trees. The ground was also pale green due to the abundance of lichen. After a couple of hours of driving, we reached Sveg where we... Continue Reading →
Today we drove up to Nusnäs, near Mora. The drive was uneventful as the roads became single carriage, meandering through the countryside, always on excellent surfaces. The Swedes are very obedient at observing speed limits and we learned that you need to be careful because there are lots of fixed speed cameras! We came across... Continue Reading →
We stayed at a beautiful camping aire called Skeda Strand in the forest by Lake Furen. After finding a sunny place to park up, we wandered through woodland to the lakeshore. It was too windy to swim but I had a paddle. Afterwards we relaxed, cooked dinner and watched the sun set. What a gorgeous... Continue Reading →
We enjoyed staying on Hillerød campsite, which is beautifully designed and cared for, with flowers everywhere, a proper kitchen and some outside showers. It was nice to relax with a wrap from the food van, a glass or two of wine and live music. We managed to avoid the torrential shower by hiding under our... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a busy and very enjoyable day, exploring some of Denmark. We woke early, thankfully, before the tractors arrived to work on the new car park. We left the aire and stopped for fuel, encountering a new type of pay by pump, which John managed to operate without any problems. 1189 krona to fill... Continue Reading →
Wednesday evening, we enjoyed a quiet night at a campervan aire in Nordenham. John cooked pizza for our tea then we washed up and had an early night. I slept better, if not very soundly, and feel more lively today. Today, Thursday, the journey has felt very long again. We’ve mainly driven through flat agricultural... Continue Reading →
It’s been a long, tiring day. I barely got any sleep last night because I’m full of cold and my sinuses were hurting, then the tannoy woke us up at 5.30 UK time (6.30 in The Netherlands). We dragged ourselves out of bed and had a drink and a croissant before going on deck to... Continue Reading →
