Tour de Scandinavie, stage 5: Trondheim – Dovrefjell – Lillehammer – Swedish border

In Trondheim there’s actually the Nidaros church worth visiting. Again the library offers free internet. To recharge our batteries and get a hot shower we booked the camp site Flakk a bit outside the city right next to the sea.
After a very slow morning with scrambled eggs and potatoes we headed inland, leaving the coast of Norway | See the pictures Continue reading

Tour de Scandinavie, stage 4: Stavanger – Bergen – Trondheim

As good as the weather had been during the first week of our trip, as bad it would get from now on for the next couple of days.

Klettern in den Grampians

The Grampians National Park in VictoriaDie Grampians sind ein Nationalpark etwa drei Autostunden westlich von Melbourne gelegen und bekannt für ihre vielfältige Flora und Fauna, mindestens genauso bekannt aber auch für die regelmäßig wütenden Buschfeuer. Und wer mal einen grünen Eukalyptuszweig hat brennen sehen, der weiß warum diese Feuer in Australien solch ein verheerendes Ausmaß erreichen. Aber zurück zu unserem Trip. Mit Jesper und Lindsay gings also los den roten Sandsteinfelsen entgegen. | Zu den Bildern Continue reading
