Norway in a nutshell

November 30… So this year is slowly coming to an end. It was / is a difficult year, so perhaps it’s a good idea to use the evening to look through photos and focus on the positive moments.

Bird Island Runde

We felt like locals when we took the longer one hour trail to hike up the hill and along the cliff at the island Runde. It was a hint from the owner of the campsite, who said that the shorter trail is crowded by tourists.

So it was. We were very surprised how many people go for a walk at 7 pm as we have met one person on our trail and all of a sudden you see maybe 60 people with cameras. 🙂 In fact from far away i thought i saw birds. I could not believe these were all people.

Once we arrived it was cleare why we were not alone here. You can observe thausands of cute Puffins.

I read that 100.000 pairs breed there. At one spot they are only an arm length away. It was after 10 pm when we finally hiked back. No problem however, because it never gets really dark in the summer.

Funny side not: I thought I would be able to buy a stylish sleeping mask here, but haven’t seen any. Happy that i can use my very unstylish old one. They could make a lot of money selling these sleeping masks to tourists.
