Three weeks south- and mid- Norway

[Hotel California]

One week passed now , today heading of for a 200km trip searching a camping tonight , need a shower!
Every day has been great but the driving takes up lots of time and energy but it is more than worth it....

Looks fabulous . What methods are you using to find camping stops? Are you using official stops or just pretty and handy places?

Just arrived on a camping in Bismo after another 220km driving "wow " and "oh look there " scenery
Site is not as crouwded as the one in Preikestolen last friday , most campings are not fully opend yet waiting the season to start .
Thisone we found is 150 norwegian krones for the Cali , two people and dog .
Shower is 10 kronen for 5 min . But free wifi so don't hear me complaining!



Just poured in a bit wine , later some more pics!

As in the topic "cali cooking" , now cooking on a Norwegian campsite , using the equipt kitchen on site....
No gas used in the Cali and no smells...!

Rice-chicken-uncle benz sauce!
Mmmm
The campsite in Denmark had the same facilyties , nice and handy and you get to meet the other people....
Checked the weather , themp. can go below zero celcius this night....will be using the heater
Campsite is at aprox. 400m height , when we were at 1400plus m. this afthernoon is was 3,5 degrees celcius at 2 pm!
Saw some langlaufing and snowscooters , one snowboarder...

Keep the pictures coming.
Most campsites in Scandinavia seem to have such communal cooking and even dining facilities available.
Lots more snow than in Northern Norway.

 

[Hotel California]

You want snow....or better ice

 

[Hotel California]

Funny as it nearly don't gets dark at night .
Now 23.30 and looks like it could well be 20.00
Woke up last night arround 3am , it was like 6am....
This was taken at 22.15
We where out of the sun due the mountains but she was still shining!


Edit ....
Midnight at Norway,
The same scene at 00.00
Goodnight!

We past some wooden churches some very old.

Thisone is amazing....located at Lom , Norway
They are national heritage

 

[Rich20]

Wow, amazing scenery. I can't believe the height of the snow, but the road is clear. The wooden churches look really interesting.

Stop it. Can't stand any more! I'm on my way

Those walls of ice, reminds me of Game of Thrones!

Few days on the road again , left campsite at Bismo thursdaymorning to drive about 150km to the snow coverd hiltops near Andalnes to spend the night at magic spot....
Very windy and pretty cold that night but o my god, so nice!

Wednesday , about 370km , long day nearly gave up the search for the spot i hoped for but did find it afther a last climb on gravelroad arrived at a small fishlake in Fannrem

I'm really curious where all these hidden spots are where you camped. In 2 weeks time we'll be leaving Belgium as well to do the same trip. Any suggestions?

Arrived at Os near the train station , spend the night

 

[Hotel California]

Much to difficult on a iphone and wifi at site to make nice postings...

 

[motacyclist]

Thanks for the posts HC

Understood about the wifi, did you think about getting one of those iBoost gadgets?

 

[Hotel California]

Nice ain't it....spending the night up here...
Arround 1400m above sealevel



Must be fair and say we closed the roof and slept below after dinner...... the wind was strong the canvas made to much noise flappering in the wind...
