Feeling fresh and in balance at the start of 2023, from the previous year of Jason and me venturing inwardly through India and Nepal, we had a renewed appreciation for things. Namely, we had an overarching motivation to revive our life on the road, independent of location. Thanks to White Rhino, our trusty Hilux-house-on-wheels, we continue to explore, learn, be open, and evolve. In a newfound alignment, an oceanic joy broke upon the shores of my soul as we picked up where we left off: to tend to some unfinished business in the Nordics. An Arctic expedition across Norway seemed entirely apt, having perambulated Scandinavia during a hot-as-blazes summer in 2019.
Let the Nordic Fun Unfurl
With no time to waste the pending golden winter light, a mad dash through England’s dreary drizzle saw us leave Norfolk in mid-January and set sail to the Hook of Holland. An obscene 640-mile nonstop drive to Hirtshals, Denmark, afforded us a day to come up for some Danish sea air. That is, before embarking for Larvik, a direct four-hour Colorline ferry crossing to see friends Espen and Malin in Skien, southern Norway.
