Oh.
My.
Word.
Honestly, people have been asking for coordinates from where the images are taken, how we found them, if we’d share them. Until you have been, it’s not that easy to understand, but these views are everywhere on the west coast of norway.My.
Word.
This picture was taken on a crappy £100 smartphone. We drove out of a tunnel, along the main road, and before we went into another, we pulled over and snapped these pics. The place is phenomenal!
Two others that never made the cut from the same place
wow, this is a post revival!
well, the van died in france.
it was all rather stressful as we were at a house sit in france over the christmas period, then the van broke. i had a feeling it had a timing issue, but had gone from one day being fine, to the next running rough, not starting/idling. we went to a local 'mechanic' who played with the injectors, but the long and short was, we had the van trailered back to the uk. on strip and inspection, the van had indeed jumped a tooth on the belt, due to something becoming worn and slightly oval. now, this was a very busy, and stressful time, and we just needed the van out of our lives. we were told the component wasnt really available, and nor was an engine easy to source. the long and short, was we sold it to the garage for a huge loss, as two weeks later we moved to italy, where we are still living.
i am about to start a new blog, and perhaps will post a link here for anyone interested in our future exploits.
i cant believe anyone is interested, that all seems like so long ago!
anyway, i hope this offers some sort of closure, and happy to talk about any of the trip.
i'm not on ph all the time, but will check back once in a while to see if anyone has posted.
best to all.
