FIRST DAY OF PROPER WINTER VAN LIFE IN NORWAY!
Footage of the stoooooooniiiiiin van, car park and a tree. Lazy isn’t going to lie; it’s the afternoon. They got up early and underestimated that it would take 3 hours to get their outdoor gear on. It’s -10 but it was -13 in the van this morning on the outside monitor. She doesn’t understand why it’s the coldest in the mornings. They set the heater to be at 17° all night. Isla says she’s so warm. It was dead in the car park last night but this morning it’s rammed with skiers. In the UK people go for a jog in the morning but in Norway they ski. So cool. Mila has spent more time on the floor than stood up. Lazy says it’s time to put the snow boots on and that she didn’t buy the uggs for nothing. King Jace is told not to eat yellow snow. Creepstopher tells him it’s orange flavoured.
Walking. Lazy has her handbag. Isabelle helps Mila walk so Creepstopher can get scenic shots. This place is Lazy’s dream. They’re not far outside of Oslo and are at Lake Sognsvann “soggen’s van”. The lake is frozen and covered in snow. Everyone is skiing on it. Drone footage. Phone footage.
Lazy feels like she was born to be around snow. She prefers winter. She loves wet and miserable. That explains why she married Creepstopher. Mila has fallen over and Isla is stood there like a lemon staring at her. Lazy picks her up by the hood of her coat. She keeps wanting to slide down the snow again. Lazy doesn’t like being hot as she struggles to cool down. Scandinavia has been on her bucket list since 2018. So many people don’t go there because they think it’s scary. She’s shocked people are walking their dogs on the lake. You have to stop to let skiers past. She says there have tragedies with people walking across lakes recently. If you walk across a lake do it with an adult. It’s not safe in the uk as it’s not that cold.
Lazy is so embarrassed. She told Creepstopher she was nervous to go on the lake. A local told her she is on the lake. Lazy told her she meant on the actual lake. The local told her she is on the actual lake. She thought it was a path but they cut paths out on the lake for ice skaters and skiers. It’s really cool. Lazy wants to go to the platform. It doesn’t feel like a lake. The girls jump off the platform. King Jace is told to be careful. Drone footage. It’s too icy for snow angels. Mila is on the platform. Lazy tells her to be careful. No adult is on there with her unless you count King Jace. Lazy takes her eyes off Mila to ask Isla if she’s making snow angels but she’s in her own world singing away and ignores her. Mila spots Creepstopher’s drone. Walking. Lazy shows us polaroids.
The Inghams are back at the van. It’s 1:20pm. The chuldren are in the van getting toasty. They’re making cuppa soups to drive with. The top boxes are frozen closed. Creepstopher has de-icer spray and is trying to open them. He does it and chucks the cuppa soup boxes onto the ground below. Lazy Shrader makes the soup and films King Jace eating some bread.
It’s 2:20 pm. The Inghams are leaving Oslo. Lazy craves summer at the end of winter. She craves seasons. We’re lucky we have a constant roll of seasons. She’d be fed up if it was cold 24/7. They’re off to the most photographed fjord in Norway. Driving. The jet wash has frozen so they can’t clean the window but Lazy wants to show us a bridge that is under construction. She has never seen a bridge that isn’t finished before. Driving. A roundabout in a tunnel is so weird. Driving.
The Inghams have had to stop so Creepstopher can get a drone shot of the most beautiful fjord ever. Insane. Today it feels like they’re not getting anything done. There is so much beauty. Lazy is stopping at Spar for water and milk. She eyes up the pastries and tomatoes. She smells sausages and finds the hot food counter. The milk looks confusing. She risks the 1% fat milk. They stocked up on coke in Sweden. She gets water, orange juice, bread rolls, tomatoes, doughnuts and milk. It comes to 321kr. She’s not moaning about prices but informing people who want to do road trips. It converts to £38.80.
Driving. Insanely beautiful fjords. Lazy cannot get over that it’s a huge huge huge body of water but she can see tiny black dots of people skating or skiing on it. It’s every day life in Scandinavia. Another reminder not to ski on ice in the uk unless you’re qualified as it can be deadly. She’s not promoting it. People in Norway know how to measure ice. Drone footage. It’s 4:48pm and -9 in Hønefoss. They’re due snow overnight.
Driving. The Inghams are excited for their first experience in a Norwegian Sports shop as Creepstopher needs a sleeping bag. His old sleeping bag doesn’t fit him as it was for the first caravan. It stops under his moobs. Lazy thinks it’s one of the kids’ ones. He’s not a blue man and goes for orange. Creepstopher is selfless and never moans about being cold if someone asks for the heating to be turned down. Some nights he sleeps on the floor on a Tat and Me blanket bed. If his jumpy legs are bad or Mila is having a bad night he will sleep on the floor. Heat rises. Creepstopher is selfless and tells people not to worry about him. Selfless? Is that a joke? So selfless he has sacrificed the wellbeing of his chudren for his own gain. So selfless that he's cheated on his wife go knows how many times. So selfless he has stopped his kids from getting a good education. The shop lend them a tape measure for him to measure his height. He is about 180cm with shoes on. They got the price conversion wrong earlier. Danish Krone and Norwegian Krone is different. They were using the Danish krone so the shopping actually came to £26. Lazy sees a van outside the shop and decides they must be a van lifer.
The Inghams stop at a 7-11. Creepstopher said it was a 4 hour journey but Lazy thought he said it was 2. It’s 7pm. They have another 2 hours left. Lazy wants to stop in half an hour but Creepstopher says no. She wants to stop because of the kids so they don't get fed up. They haven’t moaned on this trip. Tomorrow they get to Norway’s most photographed fjord. The fuel comes to 1446.28kr so £117. The ice is nice. The girls want slurplees like in Florida. There are no slurpees but they have cheeseburgers with mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard although Creepstopher does not buy them.
Driving. They have to reverse from their stop from the night as the path was deep. Creepstopher was fuming. He walked through it and was knee deep. His nose was twitching.
Half an hour later they stop for the night at a car park off the main road of where they’re going tomorrow. It’s on Park for the Night. There is a cheese factory behind them but it doesn’t open until tomorrow. Maybe Lazy can ask for spare cheese to take home for her cheese slop recipes. He loves the noise of the diesel heater. Reversing down the road was scary as the van only just fit down it. They nearly got stuck for the night. He shows the plough drift.
Tonight is a floor night. Creepstopher shows us the 70cm carpet space. He puts a mat down from the sofa then gets out the crème de la crème sleeping bag. He prefers it when he has jumpy legs and he’s near King Jace and Isla if they need him but they never have. Isabelle booted him in the head in the summer as she needed the toilet. Lazy says he is a good man because he puts the kettle on in the morning. It’s Mila’s fault he isn’t in the bed with Lazy as he doesn’t want to wake her. There is nowhere else for Mila to sleep in there. he says he's an engineer and will sort it out. Lazy says they’re not going to need the van anymore but Creepstopher says they will be doing future van trips in this one. He shows us the windscreen covered in ice. It’s -11 outside and 17.5° inside. The time is wrong because it stops when they turn the inverter off. They have to reset it when you turn it back on but they don’t bother. They’re due 20cm of snow overnight. Come back for a banger tomorrow as they’re going somewhere banging as they make their way north.
