Having set sail from Denmark at 9:30 in the evening for a 3 hour 15 minute crossing, it was not going to be an early night. The ferry was absolutely packed and full of people buying large quantities of Coca Cola, lemonade or fizzy orange drinks from the tax free shop, we can only imagine they must be very expensive in Norway? It reminded us of the booze cruises that we used to do from Dover to Calais- leading up to Christmas! 

We eventually found somewhere to stay at 2am- it was a car park just outside a campsite. We’d been met by the security guard who said it was fine to stay there over night- but we’d need to pop to reception in the morning to pay. Not a cheap stopover  in a car park for 6 hours, the privilege cost us £20!! Imagine how annoyed we were when next morning, we discovered a lovely spot next to a lake just up the road where we could have pulled in for the night- In the darkness of the early hours of the morning we’d not been able to see what we were passing!!
