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.

Blue sky awaited me this morning after a bad dream about a friend. After so many days of rain and dark clouds, the sun was shining and it was warm out. Monica made Norwegian waffles this morning. Unlike their Belgian counterparts, they have a soft texture ... Read more >

My journey northward continues as my internal compass needle continues to point north. I'm on my way to visit my friend Monica who lives outside of Narvik but I still had a lot of ground to cover as it's a long way from Ålesund to Narvik. Norway ... Read more >

My Year 4 (4th grade) teacher started drawing some rings on the chalkboard and then asked us to guess what she was referring to. When she got to the second ring, I raised my hand and said "the Olympics." The 1994 Winter Olympics are the first Olympics ... Read more >

I THINK IT WAS JOHN D. MAC DONALD who wondered what value we would place on a sunset if it occurred once every 20 years. Here in Tromsø where the last sunrise was on May 13, this isn’t just a random musing. There won’t be another sunset ... Read more >

THIS IS OUR SECOND NORWAY CRUISE—it’s really the only affordable way to see Europe’s most expensive country. Our first two ports-of-call were nothing special. Haugesund, once a mainstay of the herring fishing fleet, now makes its living ... Read more >
