Gudvangen 2018 part 1
Time to go back to one of my favourite places in the world! Gudvangen, Norway! Every year in juli the Gudvangen viking market is held so me and some friend did the very long drive there pasing lakes, crossing mountains and driving though horrible long tunnels! A beutiful but hard road to drive but then you get to see the deep fjords. Such amaze!Now we will have this wiev for a week or so, not painful at all!Next morning I woke up in my van to this and started setting up the tent.Mountains on all sides and a glaciar river going through the village. Very cold.All set for the viking market! -
Borre 2018
My first time on Borre viking market! This was an amazing weekend! The biggest viking market I have been to yet and such a lovely place! The market is placed in a leaf trea forest beside the burial grounds. This burial site is truly an amazing place that givs you chills. A must see for viking entusiasts! And the market is really great to, high standard, lovely people, courses and great swiming possibility since its by the oslo fjord.
