About Us.. ; )

This is the 2012 roadtrip for The Huggers(Sjur, Denny and their dog Fofa), from Tromsø in Norway to Aveiro in Portugal, in a VW Beetle 1300 from 1969 and a Sprite 400 from 1970. ;)(Go to 'September' , 2012, in the 'Archive')
And now we also share little pieces of our life after that trip.. ;)
We will hit the road again soon, from Portugal to Norway in our 'Little Beetle'.. :P

Where to store the luggage...

We have been looking around for a small trailer, since we have some stuff to bring with us ofcourse...:)
After looking at different ad-sites and at trailer-retailers we have found a few that could fit the purpose. 
We know that since we pulled "The Mushroom"(our Sprite 400 from 1970) with a lot of load(it probably weighed as much as the car!) we haven't been too concerned about the weight issue. After checking with the toll rules in Norway, which state that we can buy a trailer here, and toll it in at one of the borders(where you will pay 25% of what the trailer was bought for), we came on to a problem. In Portugal you just use the same plate of your car on such a small trailer. In Norway you have to have a separate plate. So all in all we have decided to load up differently so our trailer won't get taken away from us halfway on our journey. 

           So we have now decided to go from our original option:


                                               ....and discarding this option:


                                       .....and going for THIS OPTION :) :)
