Vestersand – Silent night at the lake

Vestersand – a name you won't find on any tourist map, which is exactly why it was perfect. A tiny place somewhere in Norway, a lake, our camper van, and absolutely nothing else. No other travellers, no noise, just the gentle lapping of the water on the shore.
We spent the night here and simply spent the evening gazing out at the water. The sun set late, as it does in Norway, bathing the lake in warm light. Sometimes that's all it takes: arrive, open the door, take a deep breath, enjoy the moment. No plan, no destination, no must-dos.
Vestersand was one of those places where you realise that you are no longer stuck in everyday life, but really on the move. You can't plan moments like these – they just happen when you let yourself drift.
