Coast of Norway6

Small islands in a lacy pattern along the west of Norway

Exploring Norway's Fjords

We were without Wi-Fi on the boat and so no blogs.

The fjords were beautiful as touted, but the surprise for us were the hundreds of waterfalls which are part of the whole scene.

The Big Boat

Starting a boat trip today. Only three days, but it should be interesting (we hope.) We would like to see a fjord or two if they are big enough. We are heading to the arctic circle and hope the woolies Marge packed will keep us somewhat warm, but our Florida blood may have other ideas.

A Day in Bergen

Bergen, Norway's second city is attractive, but wet. We were told the story of the visitor to Bergen who asked a child, "Does it rain every day in Bergen?" The lad replied, "I don't know because I have only been alive for eleven years."

On To Bergen

The best way for Floridians to see snow - from inside a warm train.

Around Oslo for a Day

A quick day in Oslo (we'll be back.) Marge liked the abstract art piece, but was not thrilled by the huge park full of nude statues. The tiny car with its unique parking position seemed like the answer to Sarasota's parking problems.

Copenhagen

Copenhagen welcomed us appropriately. The outdoor cafes had red blankets on the chairs so that Floridians could wrap themselves up to stay watm and the busses had pictures of a python wrapped aro9nd them We felt at home.
