Day 10
Arctic Circle & Bodø!
July 7, 2023 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Final day Northward: 339km 🚗
Total distance driven over 6 days: 2030km 🌫️🏔️☔🏞️☀️

By 2pm I reached the Arctic Circle🥳🥳🥳 and managed to pull up next to the only British vehicle visible in the whole car park 👻

This was having driven through a 9km / 5.5 mile long tunnel this morning - all ok, but that's a long way to hold your breath 🥴

All very surreal to be in the Arctic Circle, lots of souvenirs as well as animal pelts.... 🐇🦌🫎

13.5deg 🌫️ after 24deg only 30mins earlier ☀️

I was then only 2hrs away from Bodø and enjoyed the dramatically changing scenery as I made the final stage of my journey North - with a few tears of happiness along the way 🥰

Now a few days to catch up with my very good friend Monja, exploring Bodø 🍷🍷Read more

Day 11
Bodø Art Womble
July 8, 2023 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
0km for my Danske 🚗
12 deg, cloudy and breezy 🥳

A wonderful day exploring this most Northern of cities and discovering so much in common / similar life experiences with my beautiful Norwegian friend from 1991 😍

Monja showed me the art galleries and street art of Bodø, bumping into a few of her friends along the way. We also went into the library 📚

Before heading along the harbour wall to watch a Hurtigruten ship depart... I've weighed things up and much as the Lofoten islands are an awesome place to visit, they will have to wait for another time. You can have too much of a good thing!!! Especially when it involves 4hrs at sea & peak tourist season 🤢

So I'll probably be in Bodø till Wednesday, planning my trip slower Southward return journey 🧐🗺️📍Read more
Traveler Absolutely ☺️☺️

Traveler Indeed!

Traveler Yes, and all because I wanted to experience a year in the USA way back in 1991, therefore meeting Monja 🥳
