EU Mid Europe From Italy to Norway back and forth

[MattLodi]

Hi all, i'd like to share with you how i've spent my 3 weeks of summer holiday . Me and my gf have a soft spot for scandinavian countries, so, Norway was our first thought when we realized that due to covid we had to stay in Europe, but this year there was something different. The in-laws offered their brand new van to us, we accepted without esitation. The van is the common Fiat Ducato (Ram Promaster in US), this version is 5.40mt long and it is powered by a 2300cc diesel engine.
This is the route we did (roughly) in 20 days. Along the way we took the opportunity to see a lot of places, some of them turned out totally unexpected surprises (like the north tip of Denmark). This was our first totally independent trip, the only place were we paid to sleep was Hamburg, i didn't feel confident to sleep elsewhere in the city, btw the spot was super cool.


Now some pics:

The weapon of choice


Bremen (Germany)


Hamburg (Germany)


The Lego House (Denmark)


Alborg (Denmark)


Rabjerg Mile (Denmark)


The Trollpykken (the troll pen*s) (Norway)


Preikestolen hike (Norway)


Bergen (Norway)


Nordfjord (Norway)


Geiranger (Norway)


I know that probably seems like it was a boring trip, but it wasn't, i'm not good at telling stories neither with photos nor with written words.


Bonus pics: some cool vehicles i've spotted

Sounds like an awesome trip. I lived in Denmark a year and it was a great place.

Yes, i've been in Denmark for work in the past years but i didn't had the opportunity to visit it, anyway it was a pleasure work with danish people.

Absolutely, last year i've visited Lofoten Island with a rented Kia Picanto and a tent in January 2017 i've been between Norway and Finland to catch the northern lights. That was one of the best natural spectacles i've ever seen, it still give me goosebumps.

It was a totally unexpected scenery (for me), i didn't expect to find sand dunes like these in Denmark.


probably the fact that we came from 12 days of rain helped to make us appreciate this place even more.
