Destination: Norway
There are [43] stories and [965] photos from Norway
Norway is a ruggedly beautiful country of mountains, fjords and glaciers. The 'Land of the Midnight Sun' has delightfully long summer days, pleasantly low-key cities, unspoiled fishing villages and rich historic sites that include Viking ships and medieval stave churches.
Norway prizes its stunning natural wonders and retains a robust frontier character unusual in Europe. It's not all frozen tundra, either. The temperate south includes rolling farmlands, enchanted forests and sunny beaches as well as the dramatic Western Fjords.

After leaving the plush comfort of Kent and Leslie's apartment in Amsterdam, Devin and I boarded a night train headed for Copenhagen, Denmark. School just let out for the summer in Europe, so all the trains were pretty much booked solid. We ended up ... Read more >

Det er på tide med noen små reperasjoner på båten. Da vi satte storseilet mistet vi to lister. Saumene i akterliket hadde åpnet seg og listene falt rett og slett ut like ved Hankø. Til tross for et avansert retningsmanøver kunne vi ikke finne dem igjen ... Read more >

Får vel lage en epilog... ;) Arenal var fin plass det, men tror vi var i minoritet som ikke gjorde noen av turisatktivitetene. Bodde jo 350 meter unna vulkanen da så burde jo telle for noe det. Svømmebassenget var mer verdt. :) Vi fant en lokal ... Read more >

Tok bare 28 timer ifra jeg gikk inn på første flyplassen til jeg kom ut av den siste... Er en smule sliten. Men slapp å dra på bagen min da, vet ikke helt hvor den er... Etter å ha mista overgangen i New York, så ble jeg sendt til Paris hvor jeg også ... Read more >

After a couple of days resting up in London after my ski trip I then boarded a plane to Bergen in Norway. My flight was delayed by 8 hours which is always a good start to any holiday. Anyway I landed at about 11pm and got the city-airport bus and arrived ... Read more >

What a magical place! We were lucky enough to book a trip during the summer solstice and sat out on deck of our ferry, in the sun, at midnight. Hilarious. Of course, time does not indicate light hours in northern Norway. ... Read more >

Mer eller mindre spontant bestemte Espen og jeg oss for å kjøpe en liten, gammel seilbåt. En Mariholm fra 1972. Det her blir den elektroniske loggboka vår som holder dere litt oppdaterte på hvor vi seiler og hva vi som temmelig uerfarne sjøfolk opplever ... Read more >

'But you've been to 21 different countries!' I know, I know. It doesn't even make sense to me. I'm just a victim of circumstance. A pawn in the game of life. A hapless innocent wanderer in the jungle of life... yes yes.. okokokok, I'll get on with ... Read more >

I've lived in Norway, off and on for 10 years. Is been a place of peace and rejuvenation for me. My first impressions, coming from Australia, was that it was picture perfect. The houses were charming and well kept. One hardly ever sees a house in ... Read more >
