Norway Days 5 & 6: Saying Goodbye

A final goodbye to Norway. I don’t even know where to begin. The perfect weather, the incredible boat trip, our wonderful hosts making us breakfast at 5:30AM, the great flights back to Dublin… everything in the past two days has made my trip to Norway absolutely unforgettable. I cannot wait to go back to Scandinavia with my family someday—and maybe even discover some of my family history there, too!

Norway Days 3 & 4: "Now that is a Diana sized door."

These past few days have been absolutely amazing. I have seen and done so many things and met so many lovely people. Madly exploring a different country for four days is going pretty well so far—even if I did get knocked out for a few hours with motion sickness as a result. We took a trip to the island of Osterøy yesterday and explored downtown Bergen today. The weather has been perfect for walking around and seeing the sights, though, so I am not going to leave any unseen!

Bergen Days 1 & 2: "What's the whale's name from Moby Dick?"

Wow. What a day yesterday, and what a morning today. Things have been action packed so far, but everything has gone smoothly. Our flights were on time, my outlet adapters work, and we climbed a mountain. I tried some huckleberry jam on bread and traditional Norwegian brown goat’s cheese and fell in love with both. I can see the mountains and the ocean from our bedroom window, as well as all of the other windows in the house. Diana’s family has been the best of hosts in every way. I think I will have to come back to Norway some day—that is how impressed I have been in the past 24 hours.
