(00:02:32) Sleep Story - A Long Drive Through Norway in a Campervan

In tonight's bedtime story, we take the longest, most unhurried drive through the mountains and fjords of Norway. 🚐🌙

You and your little blue campervan have nowhere to be and no particular road to follow. You roll the window down for the cold mountain air, stop at a petrol station where an old woman makes you feel like you've always belonged here, and watch children make mud pies on a small patch of grass.

It's the kind of drive that makes everything else feel very, very far away.

Follow Rest so there's always a story waiting when you need one 😊

I'm Jessika - storyteller, narrator, and the English voice behind Rest. I created this podcast because I believe everyone deserves a moment of peace and calm at the end of the day. I'm so glad you're here.
