After breakfast in Geilo, it was time to get back in to the car for a new long day of driving and so many new sights. Our first destination was the mountain plateau Hardangervidda. It is Europe’s largest mountain plateau and the largest national park in the Nordic countries. Hardangervidda covers an area of about… Continue reading Road trip 10: Hardangervidda

Back to work
This has been my first week back to work after my vacation. And it is always hard. But I made it through. The weather has not been the best and I have absolutely now got the autumn feeling. Summer is gone for this time. Apart from my rehearsals on Wednesday I did not do much… Continue reading Back to work
Road trip 9: Geilo
The destination of the day was Geilo in Hol in Hallingdal. A small town that is best known for skiing in the long winter season and hiking when the snow is gone. We wanted to take a zip line that goes down a long ski slope, but again, going on holiday when school is back… Continue reading Road trip 9: Geilo
Road trip 8: Valdres and Hallingdal
We left Hafjell quite early in the morning because our plan of having a very quiet morning enjoying the nice swimming pool at the hotel did not happen as the pool was closed. So we ate a nice breakfast and packed out bags in the car and started the journey of the day. The route… Continue reading Road trip 8: Valdres and Hallingdal

The high street has flats, back yards, shops and workshops.… Continue reading Road trip 6: More Maihaugen
Road trip 5: Maihaugen
After having spent some time in Lillehammer, we walked up to a museum just outside of the city center called Maihaugen. It was just 15 minutes to walk so we let the car rest in the parking garage for a bit and used our legs. As the weather was good and we needed to move… Continue reading Road trip 5: Maihaugen
Road trip 4: Lillehammer
After leaving Gausdal we did the 35 minutes drive to Lillehammer. We parked the car and event for a walk in the lovely center of town. We stopped for a little treat and I left the other half at the table, in the sun for a while, and I went for a little look around… Continue reading Road trip 4: Lillehammer
Holiday at the Summer-house
We arrived home from the road trip, that I will continue to share in the next days, on a Sunday afternoon. The rest of that day was devoted to washing cloths and unpacking. I also had to re-pack my bags because I had one more week of vacation before I had to go back to… Continue reading Holiday at the Summer-house
