Wyzle on the Road: MOLDE TRIP

In the end of May there is a Kristi Himmelfartsdag in Norway. It means, apart from a religious holiday, a day off. I love when I can use these days for travelling. This time, I was invited by my friend to Molde. I spent there a fantastic time. She was an amazing host. Tusen takk V. for alle de herlige dagene :-)!!!
