Where’s Rudolph ?
The train trip from Trondheim to Bodø (pronounced Booda) was stunning. Passing along huge fjords, lakes, snow covered mountains, frozen lakes, vast wilderness areas and endless forests – but did not spot any reindeer.
There was a rockfall on the track on the section that passes the Arctic circle so we had to change to a bus for that bit. As we passed the line V and I had a muted celebration, the rest of the bus was full of locals – nothing new to them I guess.
Bodø was hot (> 20C odd) but dead and dull. Sundays in Norway – most things are closed. Sundays in winter are even worse. We checked into the cheapest (still expensive) dive of a hotel in town and went in search of food. Nadda! Peanuts, an apple and a cereal bar for sups 🙁

If you find santa hanging out with jesus mo and friends let me know – but don’t take a photo – mo hates that.
Yikes you guys are going to be skin and bone after just the first month of travelling with sharing hot dogs, an apple, cereal bar and peanuts for dinner!! ha ha PS made your pasta dish the other night, was excellent, nearly killed Shane will all the garlic ;o)
It may be winter there, but don’t you know Santa and his crowd only come out in December? Please make sure that you stock up on some food, that way when you get into towns and the shops are closed you can atleast have something a little more nurishing than peanuts.
Love you lots.
Very jealous of what you’re doing.
