At the moment it was hard to find something fun to do. The weather was just grey skies with a permanent drizzle changing to more serious rain now and then. We used that time to work and to cook, to read and to surf. We had found the most spectacular spot somewhere in the middle …
46 days ago we visited the North Cape, now we are at the southernmost point of Norway at the Lindesnes Fyr. What a great time we had exploring Norway from North to South. Hopefully we get to enjoy some more of this beautiful country. People are cycling and even hiking from here to the North, …
