We have experienced the wet stuff

Not today though.
Possibly our best ever front garden.

Lofoten tomorrow

Weather forecast is fine for the next week!
Time will tell.

Like this?


Tengelfjord.
Hurtigruten cruises by where we are thru a tiny bit of the fjord.
Suppertime and bedtime.
We can shout at the posh folk in their fancy cabins.

What's the pink think on the table

 

[mossypossy]

Washing machine!
Think we have had beauty overload. Drove down to Å today.
Bit too touristy for us. Happy to retreat back to the quieter backwaters.

Another comfort break

Lofotens

After a few days on these bejewelled islands, in parts like the French Med, we have decided to stay put in a quiet corner for tbe weekend.
Weather is blissful but the roads are pretty rammed with motorhomes somewhat diminishing the joy of travelling.
Obviously we are a part of the problem.
Decision time.
Continue south thru probably busy Norway or venture into Sweden again for Kiruna and the Wilderness Road.
Ideas welcome

Either

Go south in Norway..you can avoid the E6 in places using coastal routes.
Or follow the E45 in Sweden and take the road from Vilhemina to Klimpfall and to Doratea not busy and lots of wild spots

Wilderness Road next

Only 1200 km to Gadede from here.
Not encountered any mozzies yet.
Leaving Norway on Monday for a bit. Missing Lidl and less expensive booze. We are running low!!
Nice day again.

Meatballs again

Entered Sweden via Narvik.
First thing we see is a Swedish supermarket rammed with naughty unpatriotic Norwegians.
Yes, Norway is expensive.

Norway gets its revenge

Tolls into and back out of Narvik
£50. Just a bloody bridge.
Jokkmokk tonight by the lake.
Mozzies have just begun to make an appearance.

Went through Narvik a couple of years ago to get to the Lofoten Islands don’t recall any tolls. Are these recently introduced?

 

[mossypossy]

New bridge to cut out the slightly longer drive which I would gladly have done.

Ljusselforsen

There is a motorhome service point on the south side of the bridge.
On the north side is a gravel road that has loads of intimate riverside pitches. Many a Swede has set up their caravan for the week. Places still available.
Roaring rapids, huge river, south facing.
Wild camping in Sweden at its best......with potty emptying and water just half a mile away!

Is it also known as Ljusselfoss? Google maps doesn’t recognise the name you gave.

Bridge just north of Moskosel on E45.
Over the mighty Piteälven River.

Midsummer Madness

Sweden gearing up for a crazy weekend of herring and boiled potatoes.
All the sites are full. Hunkering down for the weekend in Vilhelmina.
