Day 17

Sitting here in the rooftop tent listening to the rain I'm going through the pictures we took today at Arctic Trucks in Drammen, Norway. Got a tour of their facilities and had many of my questions answered with their vehicles. But the biggest treat of the day was when Alex handed over the keys to the very vehicle that the former Top Gear hosts used 1) to drive to the north pole, 2) to drive up an active volcano in Iceland. Yes the two men's I'm referring to are Jeremy Clarkson and James May. Then James May took the same Hilux to Iceland to drive up the active volcano called Eyjahfjallajökull. Really was a treat to drive that Hilux, it is an impressive vehicle. Still has the mounting brackets for the video cameras inside and the famous trailer hitch toilet seat.

We left Drammen late so to get to the next campsite we decided to push as fast as the old landy would allow us till we gotten ULLARED Camping. I've done my best for 18 years of avoiding this shopping centre. Camping is tight and not even here 5 minutes we had a drunk over with us talking up a storm. After tomorrow it'll be another 18 years before I come anywhere close to this place.
