It was only a question of time before me & wifey decided that it was time for another decent road trip and we wanted to cross off the final Scandi country we’s not visited/traveled too. That country was Norway.
A bit of forward planning was a must for us as we were heading there out of the normal touristy seasons and on the back end of their winter. This time period for us proved to be the best choice we’d ever make. Please read on and you’ll see it all panned out..

So, the route. We live in Marazion, 50.1251° N, 5.4640° W, thats 20 miles from the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain, 49° 57' 30" N, Lizard Point, so some element of our route to get us to mainland Norway needed pre planning. It started with a ferry trip across the channel into Ostend, a few further hours driving up to Eemshaven, then an over night ferry to Kristiansand. Once we arrived Kristiansand, we had no further plans as such other than to drive and see where it takes us.

When Im travelling anywhere, or anywhere at all really, Ive always got my cameras with me. As a photographer, I’ll always find something to shoot but never any of those dreadful standard tourist type shots we so often on IG. Coming into port for us meant that this was the real start to our trip.

So the first thing that struck us within driving for no longer than 20 minutes or so was just how empty the place was. It was like a Sunday morning before anyones up, but this continued for hours. Here and there we’d see the odd car but there was no one about at all, sort of a ghost country you might say
