Norway trip

The photos from the norway trip ... just 200 odd in all!
A quick summary of the trip ....
Went there to meet Melvin, whos on exchange in Trondheim. We did the norway in a nutshell package tour, but with buying all our tickets on the spot we saved at least 2-300 NKR, which is 50-75 SGD ! not bad. the one day tour included a couple of train rides through scenic routes, mountains and small villages. A fjord cruise to see Norway's most famous natural beauty -- the fjords of course. And then bus ride to Bergen.

Bergen's a quaint quiet town. very small, akin to Bath. But oh my, the mountains were so beautiful! It is weirdly sunny in the 2 days I was in Bergen, which was quite rare cos it rains a lot in Bergen. We spent 1 whole day time doing a 5 hour trek from the mountain Ulrika to Floyen (sp?) .... and it was soooo nice and calming. You can only hear nature's sounds, and even though the city is just down there from the mountain you can hardly hear any traffic. We had the fortune to be accompanied by a Bergen local who did that route "many many times" in his life. He's about 50 yrs old, and through the entire trip we just chatted and chatted, and learnt so much about each other cultures. I learnt so much from him than from the tourist guides/internet. Quite wonderful I think. And his fitness/agility just left us bewildered at times. Don't let that beer belly fool ya!

Other than that, we spent quite some time sunbathing, and now I'm darker! again ....
Norway is indeed scenic, though extremely expensive. I think anyone who has been to Europe should at least drop by this Scandinavian country for a short visit!

till next time!

norway!
