146km 🚗

This morning was sunny, sooo I had to prioritise having a repack of my belongings ahead of the last 5 nights of roadtrip - the weather looking distinctly showery over the next few days 🧳🎒

But also a whole lot warmer - so I could pack away my winter clothes 🧣

On my way to Porsgrunn I stopped at the very fine example of a stave church next to Notodden - at this point in my trip it felt too much to take in, but I'm very glad to have seen it ⛪

The scenery kept on giving me more wow moments, including the fruit growing area as I arrived in Telemark with orchards in all directions 🍒🍏

The famous Porsgrunn Porcelain factory shop - was so big with so much variety. Just as well the museum has to wait till the morning 😵‍💫

Fresh raspberries with cream and extra blackcurrants from the garden before heading through the streets to hear the Norwegian opera singer Emil Solli-Tangen perform. In a trio they performed many ballads, some opera and Frank Sinatra finishing with 'It's a Wonderful World' ...🥹🥹🥹
