“I’m in Hell. Wish you were here!”

August 8th, 2011 § Leave a Comment

Years ago, travelling through Norway on my way to the North Cape, I crossed a nondescript little village called Hell. The local postoffice was the only tourist attraction, selling postcards with the text: “I’m in Hell. Wish you were here!”. Or, in Winter: “Hell frozen over”. I decided on the first one to send home.

I came across it browsing a journal that I kept during the trip, and it brought back sweet memories of one of my first solo bycicle tours.  I sent another postcard from the North Cape itself, laid out with colourful stamps.

In this digital age of social media and blogs, how many postcards did you receive this Summer? Or send?
