Norway - Holiday


Just a quick post. We arrived safely back in London after a week in Norway. We had a wonderful holiday. Norway was beautiful with fjord's, gorges, snowfields, waterfalls, and tunnels. Norway was very expensive even after living in London. One evening we decided to share a cheeseburger, fries, and a coke at in a small village. It was $19. We bought 4 vine tomatos at the local grocery store for $6. Petrol was over $7.50/gal.

Norway has the longest car tunnel ,through it's mountains, in the world at 24.5KM. We did 3 serious hikes. The first one was a very steep climb to the top with a dramatic view looking down into the fjord. We also hike up to the largest glacier in Europe. While eating our lunch next to the glacier, we could hear it creeking, cracking, and rocks falling underneath into the glacier flow. Our third hike was up a valley to view the 2500M mountains but our view was blocked by the clouds except for a brief peak when we drove into the parking lot.

I will review the rest of the photos and make some additional post in a couple days.
