The country has cast us under its spell and didn't let us go for four weeks. Or maybe we could not let it go? https://www.g-trotter.net/en/norway---a-love-story/n53 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/o-like-in-oslo/n52 Thu, 26 Apr 2018 21:01:21 GMT Despite the long stay in Norway, a short visit to its capital was inevitable. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/o-like-in-oslo/n52 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/on-touristy-paths---from-trollstigen-to-geiranger/n51 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:33:01 GMT The section between the famous serpentine road Trollstigen and the imposing Geiranger Fjord is a must for all visitors to Norway. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/on-touristy-paths---from-trollstigen-to-geiranger/n51 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/unforgettable-lofoten/n50 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 08:05:02 GMT The archipelago knows how to enchant. Those who have visited the Lofoten, rhapsodize about it. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/unforgettable-lofoten/n50 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/save-the-whales---whale-watching-in-andenes/n49 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 18:31:22 GMT With the observation of sperm whales along the Norwegian coast, a childhood dream came true. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/save-the-whales---whale-watching-in-andenes/n49 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/71-10-21---the-fascination-of-the-north-cape/n48 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 20:47:58 GMT What's actually at the North Cape to see what you can't find elsewhere in Norway? A breathtaking view in the midst of a gigantic setting with the sea, cliffs and an endless horizon one can also experience in many other places in gorgeous Norway. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/71-10-21---the-fascination-of-the-north-cape/n48 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/kiitos-finland---lakes-sauna-and-santa/n44 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 18:23:36 GMT More than 1.600 km lie between Helsinki, from where we started our journey through Finland, and the Norwegian border in Finnish Lapland. So much land, so many trees - but we never felt bored while looking out of the window. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/kiitos-finland---lakes-sauna-and-santa/n44 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/the-leap-over-the-arctic-circle/n45 Thu, 08 Mar 2018 16:34:11 GMT An invisible line runs through Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Iceland - the Arctic Circle. North of it, the midnight sun never sets during the summer months, while in the dark polar nights in winter the sun never rises. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/the-leap-over-the-arctic-circle/n45 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/helsinki-city---helsingin-kaupunki---helsingfors-stad/n46 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 15:38:54 GMT In Finland, a tongue twister lurked on every corner. Learning the Finnish language seems to take a century, while the country with its amazing capital wowed us immediately. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/helsinki-city---helsingin-kaupunki---helsingfors-stad/n46 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/pienas-piens-piim---the-baltic-states-a-summary/n39 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 18:55:00 GMT The three Baltic countries are in culture and language similar but not identical. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/pienas-piens-piim---the-baltic-states-a-summary/n39 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/crisscross-through-estonia/n43 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 18:05:05 GMT Estonia is one of the most sparsely populated and densely wooded countries in Europe. Free access to the forests and its use as a recreational area is a national good - the so-called "everyman's right" applies, of which we also made use. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/crisscross-through-estonia/n43 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/the-underestimated-magnificence-of-latvias-shore/n42 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 14:45:19 GMT In Latvia we traveled along its Baltic See coastline - starting from the popular seaside resort of Liepaja, passing the port city of Ventspils, we headed to Latvia`s capital city Riga. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/the-underestimated-magnificence-of-latvias-shore/n42 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/lithuania---the-unknown-enthuses/n41 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 12:53:01 GMT Lithuania was for us a blind spot on the map. Only the fact that it is the southernmost and largest country of the Baltics we did remember from school days. Everything else was like the conquest of a great unknown. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/lithuania---the-unknown-enthuses/n41 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/poland-from-south-to-north/n38 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:12:27 GMT Our journey through Poland led us from the country's south to its north. Skipping big cities, we drove along idyllic villages, juicy green meadows and uncountable small lakes populated by an army of mosquitos. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/poland-from-south-to-north/n38 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/between-selfie-sticks-and-commemoration/n37 Thu, 14 Dec 2017 19:09:00 GMT Thoughts on our visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum https://www.g-trotter.net/en/between-selfie-sticks-and-commemoration/n37 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/up-and-down-in-slovakia-or--here-is-johnny/n36 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 21:45:36 GMT The first country through which we traveled on our journey through Europe had many steep curves ready for our car and reminded us of a horror movie. Slovakia is definitely worth a visit. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/up-and-down-in-slovakia-or--here-is-johnny/n36 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/when-do-you-depart/n34 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 15:10:00 GMT We could not stand this question anymore. We had no answer. Not anymore. Our departure date had already been postponed several times. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/when-do-you-depart/n34 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/why-a-world-trip/n1 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:35:29 GMT Ready to live a life less ordinary. https://www.g-trotter.net/en/why-a-world-trip/n1 https://www.g-trotter.net/en/adventuremobile-found/n2 Fri, 01 May 2015 20:48:05 GMT We found a vehicle for our big journey.
