Beautiful Scandanavia
Norway, with the lanscapes of rolling hills, majestic fjords and collosal mountains breathes an air of a time long ago. With a mystical atmosphere this Scandinavian homeland still has that small town feel in a European city. We were fortunate enough to ...
Finally in Norway

Xmas in Norway

Back to Třnsberg
... again not impressive, scenery even more spectacular than on the way to Bergen and taking some time to soak it up meant that -even though Norway boasts very late sunsets- we had to spend the night in Sřrum before being able to make it back to ...
Snowstorms in Oslo
Wednesday 18 January As the train passed from Sweden into Norway, the customs people came through. The first lady checked my passport, asked where my luggage was and moved on. The second lady interrogated me even more so than the people in London ...

Syttende Mai - Norwegian Constitution Day
... our course for "Vigelandparken," (aka Frogner Park) a large sculpture park which was one of the things that was recommended we see while in Norway. It was nice, though honestly, I'm not sure if it lives up to the hype. (unless, of course, you're a big ...
Bergen előtt

Oslo to Trondheim
