Nearly Norwegian

[groyne]

I'd be interested in the actual cost of a trip like this, but not including camp sites as we don't do those.

We did 6 weeks last year, and got as far up as Narvik, then across to Oulu. Including
Channel tunnel, Ferries ; Rostock to Trelleburg, Bodo to A, Vaasa to Umea, and Rotterdam to Hull. We only stayed on a couple of sites, didn't eat out much, apart from a daily coffee and cake, all in it cost about £1100 a week.

Throughout the trip I will be adding to the POIs the locations at which we stop and the service areas that we use.

don't know if people have seen or tried it, but Salty Liquorice is popular in the Nordics I've only had the Swedish versions, but I am sure there must be some home-grown Norwegian ones?

Salmiakk, Salmiakki, Salmiakki vodka too.

Might have to pop over to Finland to get the proper stuff.

I stocked up on Salmiak Fisherman's Friend's whilst in Norway.
At work the visitors we got from Norway and Netherlands knew to bring salty liquorice.

It doesn't look very warm, where are you now?

On this day last year we where quite a bit further north in Tromso, it was the first day for weeks that we didn't need warm coats, in fact we got caught out by how warm it was.

 

[Canalsman]

It doesn't look very warm, where are you now?

Just to the north of Stavanger.

Sun forecast tomorrow thankfully!
