Easter turned out quite good, but not as planned. We got quite a lot done in the new house. And then I drove out to see my mother at our summerhouse. As soon as I had arrived, we got news that someone close to us was in hospital. With the restrictions we could not go… Continue reading Easter and progress

Happy Easter

Road trip 18: Troldhaugen
As all good things have to come to and end, sadly so did our road trip. On our way home from Bergen we stopped at the home of the famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, Troldhaugen. I have gotten the information below from the museums site linked above. Edvard Hagerup Grieg (b. 15 June 1843, d. 4… Continue reading Road trip 18: Troldhaugen
Road trip 17: Beffen
After having visited the Aquarium and had a little bit of lunch, we took a small passenger ferry called Beffen.

On our way there… Continue reading Road trip 14: Voss
Road trip 13: Tyssedal
In the lovely area of Hardanger we had a room booked for the night at the small industrial village of Tyssedal. From the 19th century, Tyssedal has been a tourist destination, also know outside of Norway. European nobility traveled to Tyssedal from early 1800, and even Keizer Wilhelm visited several times. In Tyssedal you can… Continue reading Road trip 13: Tyssedal
Road trip 12: Hardanger
After having driven over Hardangervidda and visited Vøringsfossen, we hit the fjord and the area called Hardanger. The area here is beautiful, very Norwegian with the fjords and mountains. Just like a lot of the fjord areas building roads has not been the easiest, so the national tourist roads here is a tourist attraction in… Continue reading Road trip 12: Hardanger
