RV Roadtrip – A Day in Copenhagen
With the rig safely pitched up in Malmo we were off for a day trip to Copenhagen. It would be our first visit to Denmark! How exciting, the little guy was really starting to get a lot of stamps in his pet passport. (Immigration doesn’t really stamp pet passports but it is an important document […]
RV Roadtrip – Sweden Part 3
After the Lofotens we were headed south for an appointment with a ferry to take us over to Poland and the rest of Europe. It was going to be a lot of driving over just a few days, fortunately the highways in Sweden are wide and in great shape. Our first stop was my favorite […]
RV Roadtrip – Norway Part 3
Leaving Finland and crossing into Norway we were on pretty isolated roads. The actual border crossing was a tiny little affair and had we not had Sebastian there would have been no need to stop. They were doing construction and it was a bit challenging to actually park so that Shani could go in and […]
RV Roadtrip – Sweden Part 2
After leaving our friends and Norway, our first order of business was some maintenance on the camping car. We were overdue for new tires and had been for quite a while.

RV Roadtrip – Norway Part 2
After Bergen we were headed north and then east before dropping down through Lillehammer and down towards Oslo to meet up with our friends, Tom and Katie. In our opinion, this section of Norway was the most breath taking. Stunning fjords and lakes, incredible glaciers and I even got in some bouldering! We were starting […]
RV Roadtrip – Norway Part 1
After our night in the Tanum Shopping Centre we were ready to head to Norway. We would first need to stop at the border and declare the dog and pay duty on the wine we were bringing into the country. As Norway is not part of the EU there are restrictions on the amount of […]
RV Roadtrip – Lithuania and Sweden Part 1
After the big stock up in Poland we had a few days before our ferry to Sweden and we debated a trip over to Vilnius and then over to the sea and the port city of Klaipėda, Lithuania. In the end we decided to just head to the camping near Klaipėda and save Vilnius for […]
A Day and Night in Helsinki
With just a couple hour ferry ride from Tallinn we decided to spend a day and night in Finland. The ferries are massive, complete with grocery store, plenty of bars and restaurants, full cafeteria and on the way over there was live music in the ball room. Since our time was limited we took the […]
