We’re off!

Today we headed off on our next adventure - Norway! This time we are going to start in the north east corner and work our way west and see what we can see in Finnmark!

We picked up the van yesterday and…it is really beat up. So much stuff is falling apart (mostly the blinds…and the button to light the stove), but we are making it work. I threw everything we needed into the car yesterday, then when we got up this morning the last bits, had some breakfast and off we went! We headed up to Rostock for the ferry to Gedser (this is the first time taking it this direction!) and we got there with plenty of time to have lunch and organize the van.

The ferry ride was not too bad - it’s somehow always warmer than I expect it to be. We did have some stormy looking skies, and a few minutes of rain, but then it cleared up and was sunny and gorgeous! Our rain gear had dried off again by the time we got to Gedser.

Then it was just a long drive to where we are parked for the night (a rest stop off the highway just north of Värnamo Sweden). We can hear the cars a little bit, but not that loud so hopefully it will be a good night sleep.

We did stop at Max burger for dinner, but I was so hungry by the time we got it I forgot to take a photo. We also took the food down to the marine to fill up with water before we headed on as I thought it would take a while so we could eat while we waited…and it took like 2 minutes. It was super fast! The last photo is from where we got water and ate dinner. We did drive through lots of rain once we got off the ferry and it is supposed to rain a bunch tomorrow too so we shall see what we get up to. The plan is to drive as far as we can so I don’t know that I will have many photos, but we shall see.Read more
