Looking Back: Our Norway in a Nutshell
A quick list of things to remind us of our time in Norway.
– Hei hei
– Fjords get borning very quickly
– Flåm – bit of a flop.
– Expensive. Talking £100 pp/day and that’s eating in !
– May is very early – almost everything is still closed. June would have been better.
– You can do Kjeragbolten in early may. The drive there, hike up and the view are all awesome (like a million hotdogs)
– Dorms (online like hostelword) lie. They are not full if they say they are.
– Dorms are not safe for your sunglasses. Never leave anything unattended. I miss my polarized Oakley minutes.
– Japp bars (Bar One) and Marie biscuits, Vimmi (Inca cola-ish)
– Norwegians are polite, helpful, proud (of their country), walk faster than they drive and are English speaking.
– Internet domains are apt. Is it open in May ? .no
– ‘Next time’ rent a car
– if you want to feel like a king: Stand at a pedestrian crossing. Even royalty will stop for you to cross.
– Å i lofoten is a great place to chill out (just remeber to bring cash)
– Nikon sucks 🙂
– I still don’t like fish (sim)
– Narrow roads, crazy tunnels no ‘motorways’ (by my definition).
– Stunning day hikes and fun in the mountains.
We’ll be back ‘one day’ to see Nordkapp and the Aurora Borealis with a quick pop over to Sweden’s ice hotel.
