Before we found camping in Odda, we came across this beauty of a waterfall-Latefossen.

We’ve had many technical challenges with posting during our trip (and we’ve been taking a ton of photos of this gorgeous country!)

We also stopped at the Roldov Stave Church.

Leaving Stavanger area, we headed northward into the mountains of western Norway.

After spending the night visiting with our friends, we stopped near Stavanger at Sverd i Fjell, a monument to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in 872 when the king gathered all of Norway under one crown.

Took the ferry through the Lysefjord to Lauvvik before driving to our friend’s, Beathe and Erik, house.

Saw some pretty great scenery today!

Visited a UNESCO site today: Rjukan-Nottoden Industriarv: the company town where two men developed a method to extract nitrogen from the air and turn it into fertilizer.

The Vemork Power Plant in Rjukan, Norway, had the ability to create heavy water, used in nuclear bombs.

Norway has 28 stave churches remaining and we visited the Heddal Stave Church, built in the 13th Century.

Hi friends!

Next up: campervanning around Norway!

Unfortunately, we had to pull the plug on our trip to El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama due to a concerning health diagnosis that was ultimately deemed a false alarm.

Next international trip: El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama in February.

Today sorta sucked, but at least we can mark off another country on our Drink a Guinness in an Irish Pub in 32 Countries quest.

Today was a crappy day of driving in heavy traffic, punctuated by getting hit by a semi truck.

I am always amazed at some of the things people manage to transport while riding a motorcycle.

Our last adventure of the day was a boat ride on Lake Nicaragua among the many small islands.

We enjoyed a brief carriage ride around Grenada, one of the first European cities in the Americas, founded by Cordoba in 1524.

We were fortunate enough to be able to visit Masaya Volcano National Park, Nicaragua’s oldest and largest National Park.

After breakfast, we stopped in Catarina to visit the overlook to a crater lake and check out the markets. - J 🇳🇮

After standing in immigration lines for two hours, we’ve made it into Nicaragua.

Well, talking travel at happy hour has struck again!

We managed a quick stop at another craft brewery this afternoon, conveniently located within walking distance of our hotel.

These huge fan palms in La Fortuna were so unusual.
