This year we got married in the summer, and decided to stay closer to home. Our choice fell on amazing Norway, where we are currently exploring the fiords, glaciers, creeks, brooks, rivers, lakes, mountains, winding roads and friendly people.

In 2018, we bought our Nissan Patrol 2008 Y61, only to be used for overlanding. We tested it during a month, driving to magical Albania through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia and Greece. We also explored Croatia and Slovenia before going home via Austria, Czech Republic, and Poland.

Driving back to Sweden. “Only” about 3000 km…
We woke up in the morning, realizing we had been parked about 50 meters from a huge beach. (Well, we heard the waves all night, but we didn’t actually park on the beach…) Driving home from Spain took 5 days. The first night we found a little forest close to Burgos. It was super […]
Last day in Morocco – returning to Europe
So, the day came when we were done with Africa for this time. We got up early as usual and drove via Chefchaouen – the Blue City – to Ceuta. Almost. Well, we got there, but the last kilometer into Ceuta (which is actually a Spanish enclave) took us 8 hours. We found out later […]
Fez (October 22-23)
After seeing vibrant Marrakesh we also wanted to see one of the most legendary, original and oldest cities, Fez.

Foum Zguid to Marrakesh October 20, 2017
We got up at sunrise as usual and spent the day driving through a winding mountain pass road over the Tizi N’Tichka pass via Ait Benhaddou. Wonderful views and lots of exercise for the steering wheel as well as the accelerator and brakes!
Mhamid to Foum Zguid (Oct 19)
After a good rest in Mhamid we set off though a second day in the Sahara. Highlights were of course the dunes of Erg Chigaga, the Sacred Oasis, and driving across the huge Lake Iriki, fortunately dry. If there has been rains, it can be horribly muddy we heard.
