Norwegian trip report, first of many:)
 
Hello to the people on the other side of the big pond!
Here's my first trip report from Norway, and many more will follow!
Don't know if there is a limit for the numbers of photos in a post, but give me heads up if I don't follow the rules:)

Picked up the kayak yesterday in Sweden, had to drive 1230 kilometers..
Bu it was worth it!

Tried my kayak for the very first time today, and it was great!! Had nice weather and a friend to help me put the yak on the water.
He is also the one that took these pictures from land.
As you probably can tell of the photos, my padling-technics are still missing. But with time and training...

I will buy myself a camera that i can use in the kayak, but over here, things are a bit more expensive....
But next months salary will come in handy:)

This is my storage, in the garden behind some bushes hidden from view.


I will mount the rodholders when i get the chance, my grandfather told me that he would love to help me:)
He is an perfectionist, so he can gladly help me out.

That was my first trip report, hope you liked it.

To think with summer coming you will be able to fish 24 hours a day..... The sun never sets.
