Spent a week with a rental car along in my little world driving throught Iceland. It’s great to have all your things tossed in the trunk and the freedom to take a road wherever. It is also exhausting and has an element of stress, especially when going solo without some navigator wrestling with a map.
It was refreshing to land in Norway without having to deal with driving. While my body was welcoming movement. I also grew tired of lugging my belongings on my shoulders. I spent a good 5 hours traipsing around Trondheim with 30 pounds of crap flailing off my back with another hour hike to my AirBnb at the top of a hill. I hiked that hour back down at 6am the next morning to catch a boat.
I have never not loved being on a boat! From the tiny 4 man sail boats on Lake Dillon, to rafting down mountain rivers, to speedboats on big lakes. Now I am finding this Nordic cruise to be a lovely way to travel, learn, eat, sleep, and check out points of interest all without having to hike with all I own loaded on my back.
