I told Pratiwi it would make for a better pose if she let go of the cable, but for some reason she wasn't keen! wink

Wednesday 5 August 2015

Tiny area of clear land hundreds of metres up a cliff above a fjord. Good place for a farm, ja? That's Skagefla farm!

Wednesday 5 August 2015

... still climbing... although it's worth stopping once in a while to admire the views of Geirangerfjord below.

Wednesday 5 August 2015

Dropped of by the little sightseeing/ferry boat it's time to start climbing. We're heading for Skagefla farm.

Monday 27 July 2015

Random pictures from the Norwegian road. This is the '63' heading South from Trollstigen. Lovely.

Saturday 25 July 2015

Not really best way to finish an all day hike: slippery roots galore on a very steep slope! Still an epic day though!

Saturday 25 July 2015

Pratiwi negotiating part of the, "It's not dangerous, honest!" section. To be fair, it's not as bad as it looks wink

Hiking along rather slim ridge with the aid of chains. I enjoyed this but someone else said it was scary. Pfft wink tongue

Roaming London like a couple of backpackers wink In past life I would walk through Liverpool St station daily. Surreal!

Messing about in a German Ikea. Could we live in a 55m² apartment? Yes, as long as we don't have too many pillows! wink

Saturday 11 April 2015

Passing through Speyer so stopped for quick walk. There's a huge Cathedral here but it's quite plain inside.
