Jorda rundt oktober 2011 - mars 2012 / Weltreise Oktober 2011 - März 2012


Vi er en familie på fem, som reiser jorda rundt fra oktober 2011 til mars 2012 og med hjelp av denne bloggen vil vi dele opplevelser med venner og familie. Siden vi er flere som skriver innlegg, står navnet til "skribenten" angitt i overskrifta.



Our family of five travelled around the world from October 2011 to March 2012 and in order to be able to share our experiences with family and friends we established this blog. Since we are several "authors" the posts start with a name and are labeled.

Sundsvall 2012

We spent a wonderful, sunny week in Sundsvall, Sweden.
That is about 450km from Trondheim, where we live and so it takes us only a day to tow the caravan to Bergafjärden Camping og havsbad.
Here the kids find a large,sandy beach and shallow water. (If you are a passionate swimmer this is not the place for you, since you will have to walk far before it gets deep enough).
The surrounding pine forrest is great for walks, jogging, blueberry-picking...
The coastal road kystvägen offers many places to visit: There are numerous beaches, small fishing villages, restaurants and cafès, museums...




By far our favourite place is Galtsrømbruk! It is such a friendly place full of flair.
There is an old farming museum, where the kids can climb antic tractors till we contiue on to the historical iron works. At restaurant and cafe they not only serve GREAT food but also keep the kids happy with a little playground, their own play-room and rabbits, cats and chicken to run after and feed.
(To judge by the waitress' reaction, the free-range chicken under the tables were not really meant to be there...)

Denmark, June 2012


On the ferry

 Since we live in Norway while the rest of the wider family lives in Germany, we decided to meet half way - in Denmark.
Altogether we were ten people and rented a house at the Limfjord through Sol Og Strand.

 
Windy Denmark is ideal for kite-flying!
 




And then we went to Legoland! Yeah!




We had great fun at Spøttrup Castle even though the picture does not show it...
 Another highlight was the visit to the medieval castle of Spøttrup. On the day we were there locals had arranged a medieval marked, demonstrating traditional crafts and foods.
