Norwegian Road Trip

Me and my brother-in-law had a spontaneous trip to Norway for a week ago. We took the car from Gothenburg, Sweden, headed against Norway and drove as far as we could in one evening.

Instead we had this strange and fantastic flow of fishing, filming, eating and laughing. Some weird things happened, more about… Read more »
