We’ve been in Tromsø for the last few days. We’ve come this far north (we crossed the Arctic Circle to get here) so that we could see the Northern Lights, which was the inspiration for doing this entire holiday. No pressure though…

Life lessons from Norway
…a list in progress.
1. Everything is less fun when you can’t afford to eat.
Fjord and back
They say the journey is more important than the destination. When the journey is an eight hour round trip, then that rule certainly applies. On paper, yesterday’s trip sounded like it was going to be amazing – a bus trip through the valleys, a two hour ferry trip through the fjords, a winding railway up the mountain and then another train back to Voss. Sadly the reality was not quite what we’d been expecting.
Bergen
In England, wandering around the sixteen thousand historical sites we visited, we learned (inter alia) about the invading hordes from the North that preceded the invasion of the Normans. Obviously, our next stop was destined to be the home of said hordes, that is, Norway.
