A trip to Norway also requires a lot of planning

You might think that a camping trip to Norway doesn’t require so much planning. I mean; we are not flying there, so we don’t need to book any flights, we are camping so we don’t need to book any hotels…..But I guess if you know me you know that I’m not doing anything without a plan. ;-)

I have learned through all my trips: if I don’t plan I end up wasting a lot of time discussing or finding out what to do. If there is something I really hate on trips – it is to waste my time.

On this trip we have had a couple of strategies:

·                                    To see all major fiords

·                                    Not to spend too many hours in the car each day.

Plan A looks like this:

Day 1: Gothenburg – Oslo, Drive 3,23

Day 2: Visit of Museum Island (Bygdóy: Wiking Ship Museum, Kon-Tiki_Museum);

Day 3: Oslo – Nærøyfjord, Drive 4, 52, Kayaking

Day 4: Kayaking, Nærøyfjord – Bergen, Drive 2,07

Day 5: Bergen - Hardanger fjorden, Drive 2,48, Folgeganna Nationalpark Kayaking

Day 6: Hardanger fjorden Hike to Trolltunga, 10 hour

Day 7: Hardanger fjorden to Sognefjord, Drive 4,28, Hike Molden, Lustrafjorden 4h

Day 8: Sognefjord, Hike Vettisfossen 5h , to Geiranger Fjord, Drive 4,0

Day 9: Geiranger Fjord with Hike Storseterfossen

Day 10: Geiranger Fjord Kayaking to Lighthouse, Drive 3,02

Day 11: Lighthouse to Ålesund, Drive 3,31 Hike

Day 12: Ålesund-Trollstigen-Trondheim, Drive 4,55-5,52

Day 13: Drive Stockholm, Drive 10,49

All the driving is according to Google maps, so I hope it is accurate.

We are aware of the weather conditions in Norway. So in case there is a lot of raining, plan B is that we will drive east and try to move away from the bad weather. One of the advantages with driving your own car and having your own tent – we can change plans whenever we feel like it.

So now the big question is – do we keep to plan A or do use plan B or do we have to come up with a plan C? Time will tell. J
