Day 15: Leknes/Gardermoen
Great weather in Leknes this morning! Because we were leaving, of course. With the bright morning sun streaming in from windows overlooking the grassy backyard, we took our time waking up, making breakfast, packing up and tidying our… Read More
Day 14: Lofoten Islands

With a full day planned, we started early… out of bed at 5:30-6am, packed up, and checked out by 7am. While not as epic of a buffet as the Thon, the Fretheim selection was more than sufficient. We… Read More
