The Best Of - List !

A 100km from home it’s time to look back and compose the „Best Of“ list, here you go:

Best meal:
homecooked: - Tacos with Corn Tortillas which are hard to get at home
Served: - The Waffles in Njusford (crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle, correct sweetness of the strawberry sauce and vanilla cream topping)

Best drink: the alcohol free Ginger Joe

Favorite spot to stay overnight:
The camping site in Stave, Andøya with the white beach and Sauna

Best Hike:
Matinden (minus the getting dark part, but for the final view and trail itself). Also on Andøya.

Favorite City: Trondheim

Best thing to do/see:
Seeing the Orcas and whales.

Best thing we packed:
Jeanette: Wind Vest and buff. (#layers)
Linda: The drone (and the 12V - 240V power converter)

Coolest thing we learned:
Jeanette: What we don’t need to bring for outside activities when it is cold. (Gym equipment, hammock, outdoor grill…)
Linda: That we have no single footage or observation of a sperm whale hunting, because they do it at a depth we cannot get ANY equipment down to. AND the Stave churches were created in an attempt to copy stone churches and cathedral.

Most useful thing we learned:
Linda: How the Cruise Control on our van works without thumbling around.
Jeanette: That Norway is 90% renewable energy powered (Hydro) and also exports this to the world.

Most unexpected:
Jeanette: That the Via Ferrata was that easy and the moose are so big.

Coolest souvenir from the trip:
Jeanette: The great bargain rain pants.
Linda: the Ski Erg for $250 😆

Favorite picture:
Can’t answer yet, we are still missing the pics from our tour to Trolltunga…

Where would we rank Norway from all the countries we‘ve seen so far?!?
Linda: Top 3 (with Canada and Switzerland)
Jeanette: Top 5 (With Iceland, Sardinia, Croatia)Read more
