Nor-way-away!
On the way out of Sweden we decided it highly appropriate to go and visit an authentic Swedish IKEA. We had been putting it off for the whole voyage thus far but the fear of missing out was too much.
It was one of those bitter-sweet experiences which allowed us to fantasize about furnishing our own home (or even redecorating bigwig) but was tainted by the reality that we really cannot afford anything!

On Friday 22nd, Johana and I headed for my hometown Elverum in Norway, to celebrate a few days of Christmas with family and friends. It was Johana's first time in Norway, so I was keen on showing her the ridiculous amount of snow and insanely freezing temperatures we have to deal with up here in 60°55′N 11°42′E land. Having spent all winters until my 28th birthday (when I moved to the tropical UK) ...
