You know when you see or hear about a place that sounds utterly beautiful and special, and just sticks in your mind, bugging you relentlessly until you give in and book a flight there?   Well the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway was just such a place for me and my father Alan. My father had a special birthday this year and so what better thing as a gift than to get him an experience that neither he or I would forget.  A road trip in Lofoten. Planning commenced a few months prior, going old school and using a paper map!  So nice to ditch the sat nav for a change!  A total of 4 flights and 1000km of driving awaited. There is pretty much one main road that links these string of islands that curl out into the Norwegian Sea, the E10, and is in itself a miracle of engineering.   Long (up to 6km) tunnels cut through the mountains and stunning bridges that all sit well in the landscape. There was always a sense of excitement exiting each tunnel as undoubtably a stunning vista would await that would cue stopping the car and getting the cameras out…….
