To experience the drive along the Atlantic Ocean Road, we took a detour to go through Kristiansund, then onto the Atlantic Ocean Road and towards Molde. On the way, literally in the middle of nowhere, there was a food truck serving amazing Thai Food! When we reached the entrance of the Atlantic Road, we had…

Trondheim – Norway (Day 1)
Our short Norway sojourn started in Trondheim, which is known for its combination of history and hi-tech with its 11th century Cathedral, largest wooden royal residence in Scandinavia and hosting a University known for its expertise in high tech.

Iceland – Land of Fire and Ice (August 2018)
Iceland was a relatively recent quest for us after seeing the videos of its unique landscape and hearing from some of our friends who have visited recently. It was a really difficult choice to decide on what to cover during our visit – Do we do try to drive along the coast (mostly) of the…
