Sweden is beautiful. In all senses. The people, the place, the food. I’m sure this is something I probably said about Norway last year, as I found Stockholm (surprise, surprise) to be almost an amalgamation of the different places I visited whilst road tripping around Norway. Due to work commitments, we only had 3 days … Continue reading MONKEYS, MUSEUMS AND MODERN ART | STOCKHOLM | WEEKEND WANDERING

BOND AND BAKERIES | ROTTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING
That's right. Bond. As in, James Bond. I am a huge Bond fan, and take every opportunity to see a spectacle put on in it's favour. My friend Karolina knows this, and found out there was an exhibition on all about designing 007 in Rotterdam, so we got the train over there. It was a temporary … Continue reading BOND AND BAKERIES | ROTTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING
CHRISTMAS, CULTURE AND CAKE | AMSTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING
In December of last year (2014), I took a trip to see my very good friend, Karolina, who lives in Amersfoort. As she is an excellent and incredibly lovely person, she welcomed me into her home and then showed me around. Now, I know Christmas travels aren't always at the front of people's minds as Christmas … Continue reading CHRISTMAS, CULTURE AND CAKE | AMSTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING
LILLEHAMMER | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
Right. Last one. I'm writing this one on a train, in front of other people so as not to get emotional. The last couple of days were funny ones. I was really excited for Lillehammer, but I can't really say much about it. We had an awful journey from Trondheim to there and so arrived … Continue reading LILLEHAMMER | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
ALESUND | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
Having just been through the longest tunnel in the world, our expectations were set pretty high. Alesund did not disappoint. To be honest, in comparison to the other cities we visited, Alesund was a pretty last minute addition, but I’m so, so glad it was. I knew barely anything about it, but I saw it was … Continue reading ALESUND | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
BERGEN | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
Ok. I'll try not to make this post as long as the last one. If you got through it, congrats. Right. Down to business. I loved Bergen. It was beaut, seemed to have a lot going on, and is the rap capital of Norway. (That didn't impact me at all. I only found out a … Continue reading BERGEN | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
FLAM | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
And on the third day... We got a car. A lovely, little shiny red one. Once we found it, that is. Out of the four of us, Hamilton and I were the only ones that could drive, so we wandered over to the car hire place and got ourselves a car whilst the others finished … Continue reading FLAM | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
OSLO DAY 2 | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
My god, I’m not very good at this whole regular writing thing… Apologies. I do have some exciting plans to share that were organised in the mean time, but I’ll keep those to myself until after I’ve finished Norway. I’m very excited to share my plans, especially the planning in particular (I’ve set up a … Continue reading OSLO DAY 2 | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
OSLO | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
As mentioned in a previous post, having never been to Norway organising a road trip there was a bit of a guessing game. As Oslo is the capital and Ryanair did fairly cheap flights there it seemed like the perfect place to start. As I was 21 on the second day of the trip and you … Continue reading OSLO | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP OVERVIEW
For my 21st Birthday, I went on a road trip to Norway. This is the start of it.
