We've been to incredibly beautiful and stunning countries on this trip, even our lives for that matter, and then we drove over the border and into Norway. Words really can't describe the incredibly stunning scenery that we saw over the period of 3 weeks, it exhausts all superlatives!!! We started at the top in a place called the Lofoten Islands where we witnessed a midnight sun/glow at the top of a mountain overlooking the Lofoten Wall - stunning! We then ha...

Summary Disembarking off the ferry into Helsinki, the ferry ride had not yet cured our hangover from the previous night in Tallin. So ill we felt we decided to skip Helsinki completely and drive about 30km's north until we found a carpark and spent the rest of the day sleeping. The next couple of days we spent driving north. The scenery was beautiful but extremely repetitive. Lake after lake surrounded by Birchwood forest. The country is extremely flat as w...

The only bonus is without the speedo-cable, the trip-meter doesn't work either so we're keeping...

Summary The start of our Polish adventure didn't start too well due to weather, we spent 2 days bunkered down in a campsite in Zakopane avoiding the constant rain and a couple of hail storms. We did finally score some nice weather on the afternoon of the 3rd day so we set off on a afternoon hike up the High Tatras, which was really good. We would have like to have stayed a bit longer and explore the High Tatras a bit more but we really needed to keep moving. ...

Summary Although it was short, a total of about 3 days, Slovakia was really cool. We were a week too early for the Dobsinska ice cave and our desperate pleas to the tourist info people went unheard so we went hiking into the Sokolia Gorge instead. This was definitely worth the effort. The following day we headed up in the Lower Tatra mountains and up to Chopok Peak that overlooks the High Tatras that borders Poland and Slovakia - incredible view. We wanted t...
