Perfect spot for a picnic dinner

Perfect spot for a picnic dinner, Voss, Norway

Here’s an oldie, from when I hung out for a few hours in Voss, Norway, back in August 2014. The reason for being there — to catch a sleeper train back to Oslo — afforded me several hours of wandering.

I had to eat dinner at some point, so after grabbing a few supplies at the local grocery store, I found myself a picnic spot somewhere near water.

Cheap (for Norway) food, priceless view.

On a hectic visit to northern Europe back in 2014, spending one night with a majestic view of the Sognefjord in Norway was the perfect way to recharge my batteries.
