Our recent trip to Norway in the summer certainly opened our eyes into what Norway has to offer in the summer months. We'll post more later about what we got up to, but despite the fact i spent the whole 10 days drugged up with some nasty infection it was an amazing experience with lots of travelling and as usual with Norway, jaw dropping drives and scenery. This photo is taken at the very northern tip of sogne og fjordan at the entrance to Hoddevika - Norwasy most famous surfing spot.. probably.
I say that, as it not only has a surf shop but I actually saw other surfers - in the sea and camping in the car park.
To that end, last week we had a rare evening out together at a Museum of British Surfing film night - the UK premier of North of the Sun. A Norwegian surfing movie following the lives of 2 young film school graduate surfers and their overwintering in a make shift cabin on a beach on northern Norway. if you get the chance watch it - it truly is a great reminder of a couple of very important things;
1 - that Norway is as beautiful as it looks - even when there is no snow
2 - enjoy life to the full
3 - play every day - whether thats surfing, hiking, building stuff
4 - always invite wandering Fins into your house,
5 - dont leave your wetsuit gloves outside
6 - be spontaneous........
on that note we still need to sell our house - arghhhhhhhhh, why is taking so long!, being spontaneous is difficult when money is involved .....
