Heading South

Another day on the road in the land of "lovely crinkly edges". The weather has turned cool on the last few days, lots of cloud and occasion rain showers. Whilst this has been a bit of relief from the heat we have experienced in most places so far, it does not lend itself well for photography.


Last night at midnight.

Last night at 2 am

This morning at 6 am


A mammoth rock


A cold road


A Beatles reference


An Elton John reference


Joy & I at the Norwegian Arctic Centre on the way south below the Arctic Circle and I did not buy a certificate, I bought a Coffee Mug instead.


Joy trying on Sarah Lund headwear


A tall skinny Polar Bear (p.s the Sales guy told us that in April when he arrived, the snow outside was above where this Bear's head is) Arctic Circle Centre -Norway


A happy customer


More Sarah Lund Fashions




Outside the Arctic Circle centre


Another Beatles reference, in case you missed the first.



More  scenerary


A road sign we had seen several times, not sure what it meant "over fartsgrensen" but it sounded funny. It actually means "over speed limit"




A video from Kobbely, Norway


We finally managed to find a laundry, at the camping site associated with  the Hotel we are staying at Mo i Rana. 

Did I mention earlier that Norway is expensive. Really, really, really expensive.

Oh, we had read that both Warrnambool and Ballarat had a sprinkling of snow yesterday. Not to be outdone, we had snow here as well, it was old snow though.

A repack of the bag tonight with clean clothes and the off south again tomorrow.

We are watch Poirot on Norwegian TV.

Oh yes, one more thing - they have some really cool caravans and motorhomes here. I saw a caravan tonight which was very sleek and space age. I will try to get a pic.

  2. I got the first one: Norwegian Tree. But the second: Norwegian Trees? That one has me stumped!

  3. Ah yes, my cunning plan to confuse. you also missed the more subtle "long and winding road"

  4. I assume that you only see the "over fartsgrensen" signs once you exceed the speed limit????
