Norway 2023

8km 🚗

All the way to Copenhagen airport (CPH)...! 🛫

Car safely returned and an excellent coffee at very efficient Copenhagen airport ☕

Self-check baggage - no queuing, just print the luggage labels and scan 😊🥳😊🥳😊

So I had time to shop for skincare 😆

What a trip it has been over the last four weeks... 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴🚢🇳🇴🇸🇪🇩🇰

Accommodation overnight:
4 x 1 Hostel 🎒
9 x 3 friends' homes 🥰
9 x campsites (average £24@)⛺
6 x wild camping spots 🌳

Distance driven in Danske 🚗 = 3x the distance from Lands End to John o' Groat's....

(For my non-UK friends, that's the whole length of the 🇬🇧 from the tip of Cornwall in the South to the top of Scotland in the North!)

2035 km / 1264 miles Northward
2279 km / 1416 miles Southward
4314 km / 2680 miles TOTAL
Cost in fuel around £350 💷

Thankfully the threatened train / tube strikes for this week did not affect my journey back to The Shire from Stansted airport via London 🚇

Got home around 4pm, local time, with thanks to Mrs G (my mum) for a lift from Long Buckby (LBK) station 🚘

A salmon supper ahead with plenty of veggies cooked in my own kitchen - again with thanks to Mrs G for the shopping 🥕🥦

It's been a blast and I'm so glad I was able to share it with friends. It meant a lot knowing you could see how my trip was going and very occasionally it helped me to find something visually interesting on a day when I was feeling a bit flat. 🥰

The time away has done exactly what I hoped it would - allowed me some fresh perspective, the freedom to independently explore somewhere amazing and reconnect as well as make new connections - 🚗 🇳🇴 💖
