Hot damn @neph93 Pizza is so much more appreciated when you start from scratch, crust on up. Those look amazing. did you find a lot of excessive bubbling on your par bake? (i use a docker to roll small holes into my crust to try and alleviate, but a fork will work in a pinch).
Also, those topping look great! We usually finish with a drizzle of an herb infused oil to provide some extra fat and flavor during less cheesy bites.
enjoy your holiday

Only real issue I see is the number of unused hangers.

I think that is what they call «forward planning».

Holiday 2020, day 1.
We covered 365km from Bodø to Svenningdal. Drive time was five hours (speed limits vary from 60-100km/h), with a lunch stop on top of that at nice spot by a lake…
Hot Ingrid modelled the tour jacket, while I dicked around in another IH OD type III
A couple of hours later we got to Svenningdal where we have rented a simple cabin at a camping site. Camping sites in Norway are a culture and a way of life for some people. Lots of caravan’s and mobile homes and some tents. The cabins are basic af though:
But that is just fine as the outside is bloody lovely.
After the kids were in bed, I went out for a bit of me time…

When you wrote "caravan", that's all I could think about…
"Why the fuck do I want a caravan that's got no fuckin wheels?"

The scenery there looks simply stunning Reuben
It’s a very nice spot. The really dramatic, breathtaking stuff was on the drive in between. Mountain passes, raging rivers, a glacier, the lot. If I’d stopped to take pics of the really good stuff we’d still be on the road though…

nice place, have a great holiday @neph93
Thank you sir. It was a good start. We’ll be driving around 300km today, but split into two. Most of the day will be spent at an animal park with wild animals mostly from Scandinavia. Lynx, bears, wolves, wolverines etc.
Oh, and are there any amateur geologists here? There was an incredible collection of rocks in the river shallows yesterday. I’ll
Post then if anyone wants to help me work it out. -
Looks like everyone is having a great time –-- the jacket is looking good too!

Great updates, Reuben. I would be curious to see the rocks.

I know little about rocks and geology, but it struck me as interesting that the stretch of river that ran past the camping site had rocks along the bank that were extremely varied. As far as I could tell there was some limestone, sandstone, a lot of granite, and elements of quartz and iron. There were also some crazy examples of lava patterns, and a lot of boulders showing multiple rock types in one.
The following were all found together in an area of about ten square meters, if anyone knows anything about this stuff, I’d be interested in hearing about it.

Saw some beasts with my little beasts today…
Wore my favourite t-shirt too…
The little ones found hotel life comfortable after cabin life…
We’re just outside of Trondheim now. Over 400km to drive tomorrow (about 5 hours), through some amazing countryside, but the destination will be our home for five nights.
