Road trip 6: More Maihaugen

September 8, 2020September 8, 2020 Posted in Outdoors, Travel12 Comments

In the previous post I shared some photos from the Rural collection of Maihaugen, today I will share a little bit from the other two collections. The town at Maihaugen is modeled after a typical town in the early 1900’s in the inland of Norway. The high street has flats, back yards, shops and workshops.… Continue reading Road trip 6: More 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

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

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

We had two quite long car journeys our first days and we did not stop too much on our way. The reason for this was that we wanted to get to my family members that lives across the country on a lovely farm in Gausdal. I had not seen them or their lovely 1 year… Continue reading Road trip 3: Gausdal

Our road trip started with me taking an extra off work on the Friday so we could get out of town before the worst of traffic hit and everybody would be on the motorway to get out of the city for the weekend. Before I left work we had a big thunder shower and the… Continue reading Road trip 2: Porsgrunn

This year our intention was to do as we have the recent years and go for a week of relaxing and sunshine in Crete. We booked our trip early January and started looking forward to our usual week in Paradise. But as you all know and have experienced, in one way or another, 2020 is… Continue reading Road trip

This week has been really warm and mostly sunny. Apart from not getting too much sleep it has been really nice.

The last of the three towns on Karmøy is called Skudeneshavn. This is the place where we spent the most time on our little sightseeing trip to the island. Skudeneshavn is one of the smallest towns in Norway and it is most famous for it’s old town.
