Travel Blogs from Norway
Been there, hardly done that!
This is a top pick! Been there, hardly done that! So I had to go all the way to my home country Norway in order to chicken out. I felt pretty brave after having survived Latin America for 15 months on my own, but ended up a "pingle" once more after my latest excursion. I ...
467 days on the run.
This is a top pick! ... avoided the big "L" on my forehead, phew. To be honest I could have easily gone for much longer, maybe including a short break in Norway before jumping on to New Zealand and/or Asia, but I have other plans as you will soon discover. Well, I don't have ...
It's been a sizzling fortnight for a proud uncle.
This is a top pick! ... family and friends. To name a tiny few. I revisited my two favorite childhood beaches along Glomma, the largest river in Norway. I enjoyed a few good parties with friends both in Elverum and Oslo, and rediscovered the meaning of a flipping fun nachspiel ...
Coming home
This is a top pick! ... (and my sister in law and my brother of course. Spot the proud auntie eh?) More big hugs all around. Two weeks in Norway were a whirlwind. My oldest nephew started school, I went to see an auntie, cousins, great-auntie, uncle. I probably saw more ...
Coming into Norway
This is a top pick! ... in for one night. We had an extension to 6pm and begrudged paying for another day. It is coming into the busy season in Norway and this caravan park can cater for 3,000 visitors. We moved to Holmenkollen (10 minutes up the road, literally) to the ski ...
CoastalBeauty
This is a top pick! As we camped between a mountain and the coast in Alesund, Norway, The mountain being in the east, we were not woken too early by the warm sun on the canvas, and the view to the coast was peaceful. There were quite a few large ships moving around the ...
Round The World trip my arse...
This is a top pick! ... we all now know, that didn't happen. Instead I spent all my time in Latin America. And now, sitting here in my parents house back in Norway, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I have no regrets whatsoever, it's been the best 467 days of my life (no big ...
The Dance Of The Spirits
This is a top pick! ... plans for the trip. We wandered around the town, visited the gift shops and shopping centers. Since everything is expensive in Norway, I only bought very limited number of souvenirs. I bought some postcards and prints to my friends and a glass candle ...
Four rainbows before lunch! (Day 7)
This is a top pick! On this day we awoke to pouring rain in the town of Harstad, but decided to get out and walk around anyway. We saw typical pretty wooden houses and an architecturally interesting church. Upon leaving Harstad, we passed a very old medieval church ...
Ferries
This is a top pick! ... I think that's why we're here, we're all loveing it. We had 3 ferries to catch today. There are so many fjorden coming into Norway the ferries just take us across the waterways, not from island to island. Each ferry had a toll as do many of the roads in ...
The Hurtigruten (Day 4) - Rainbows and waterfalls
This is a top pick! ... , we entered the Geiranger Fjord, a Unesco World Heritage site and commonly agreed to be the most beautiful fjord in Norway. The fjord is typically narrow, gracefully curving, and bordered with steep cliffs sporting slender waterfalls - even at this ...
Naked Statues!
This is a top pick! ... pornography (including child pornography, no doubt) despite the lack of sexuality in nearly all of the statues. Whereas in Norway, a country which doesn't exactly have a "wild and crazy" reputation, families come to this park for a Sunday outing or ...
Some September days in Elverum.
This is a top pick! I thought it was time to show Johana that Norway is a helluva lot more than just snow and freezing temperatures. Well it was a gamble actually, as we didn't make it there before mid-September (and also didn't really plan to visit more sites than my ...
Longyearbreen glacier walk...
This is a top pick! ***For some reason Svalbard isn't on the TravelPod map, but rest assured it's between the northern most point of Norway and the North Pole (which is a mere 600 miles away)*** I checked in at Tromso's airport a good 6 hours before my 11.50pm flight in ...
Tempelfjorden cruise...
This is a top pick! ... small and would have been crammed had the maximum number of seventy been there. Most of the people who visit Svalbard are from Norway or Sweden, and this trip was no different as I was the only person whose first language was English. It seems that ...
Superb walk to Trollsteinen
This is a top pick! Next up on my busy schedule was a 6-7 hour walk to the summit of Trollsteinen (850m), this time as part of a group of eight people. However, eight soon became six when an American lady really struggled with the opening steep hike and consequently turned ...
Cruise to Barentsburg...
This is a top pick! I was aching all over when I woke up on Sunday morning, and I could quite happily have stayed in bed, but I had a full day cruise to look forward to so I eventually got up. For the first time since my arrival, the weather was quite poor with thick clouds ...
Hike to Platafjellet...
This is a top pick! ... isbjorn. I browsed through the souvenir shops on my way back to the guesthouse and bought a few little mementos, before getting an early night ahead of a busy day that will see me return to the altogether warmer climate of Oslo in the south of ...
The Northern tip of Europe
This is a top pick! ... reindeer as their living. They own nearly 150,000 reindeer, of which just over 100,000 live in this part of Norway. After Nordkapp we cornered the country, heading south again to Kirkenes, where the cruise ended the following morning and we boarded ...
Oslo
This is a top pick! After a lovely holiday from the holiday in Melbourne, I'm back in Europe, this time in Oslo, Norway. I've fallen in love with Oslo, but maybe that is because the weather has been so nice. It's actually hot here! And is is only dark for a couple of hours ...
The town of Bergen (Day 3)
This is a top pick! ... boat ride, we arrived in Bergen around 8 p.m. Hotels in Bergen are incredibly expensive, (actually, everything in all of Norway is incredibly expensive!) so we found a 2 bedroom apartment in a residential area where we stayed for the evening. ...
Hiking the Fjordlands
This is a top pick! ... Balestrand is a fantastic little place amidst the fjords. I took a boat from Bergen and went along through Sognefjord, Norway's longest, deepest fjord. Along the way were stupendous waterfalls, massive walls of granite and picture perfect farms and ...
Crossing the Arctic Circle (Days 5 and 6)
This is a top pick! ... American goods to Europe took place here around 1000 AD. After the capital moved to Bergen (1217), Trondheim became Norway's religious center (actually, pilgrims started coming to the shrine of St. Olav 200 years earlier). Nidaros Cathedral, built ...
Give me back my fluffy chest-deep snow!!!
This is a top pick! On Friday 22nd, Johana and I headed for my hometown Elverum in Norway, to celebrate a few days of Christmas with family and friends. It was Johana's first time in Norway, so I was keen on showing her the ridiculous amount of snow and insanely freezing ...
Flamsbana railway...
This is a top pick! ... I've got the trusty credit card, it would be stupid to get into debt on a country that looks far less exciting than Norway anyway (sorry Kristian!). So, I booked a flight from Tromso to Oslo with the aim of finishing my jaunt on a high... My only ...
