visit Norway | scenic fjords


Norway has always been on the short list of countries I have wanted to visit. I'm flying to Bergen this Thursday (if the volcano gods in Iceland cooperate) and am especially looking forward to experiencing the fjords, glaciers, mountains, and picturesque towns of this Scandinavian country.

Why my fascination with Norway? My grandparents were world travelers, from whom I have inherited my love of travel. Every six months or so, they would travel to some exotic destination, and when they came back, my grandfather would give us a slide show of the trip. His one photograph that I remember most vividly was taken from the deck of a cruise ship sailing into one of Norway's fjords — and so I have always wanted to visit Norway!

Here's a map of our itinerary put together by a Virtuoso onsite in Bergen, The Travel Designer. They have promised to "take you to places only the locals know about, and that even Norwegians dream of seeing and experiencing. You will meet local people and interact with them, and we have great focus on local, high quality food made from scratch." I'll post reports right here from Norway!
