My favorite part was Geirangerfjord – lots of mountains, water and scenic views. Wow.
Going on a tour, we went up a mountain on a bus ride, from sea level to 1500 meters. What a bus ride that was, with hair pin turns and incredible views. It was also amazing to watch those massive cruise ships manuver and pivot around in the small bay.
The grass/sod on the roofs where a practical insulation from temperature extremes of heat and cold. The tour stories was that to trim the roof when it got shaggy, the owners would throw some goats up there to mow it down.
I had never flown so far north, it was facinating to chase the sun, it never really went down completely, even at night, the sun could be seen over the top of the otherside of the world. The flight went from Seattle to Iceland to Copenhagen.
OMG – the calm waters and the evening light. What a joy to experience.
The colors was so amazing, intense blues and greens everywhere.
Some of these farm houses were many centuries old. There was no freebies in this area, prior to tourism. They had to carve out everything for themselves to just survive. It was amazing to hear and see.
We met several trolls in Norway. They are considered good luck anymore.
Funny thing – I never saw one Norwegian Fjord Horse while being in Norway. I had to come home to see my own fjord horse girlies – heh.
