Trip to Norway – our ‘summer’ holiday

Posted by: jamiebrammer In: Uncategorized

Ok pros and cons of a trip to Norway in July:

Pros

  • Norway is powered by nature – it’s beautiful scenery whenever you go.
  • It is not very busy – we were the only people on one bus. Even the main road from Oslo to Bergen is a quiet narrow road with few cars on it.
  • Fruit being sold at road-side stalls is only bettered by the wild strawberries and raspberries on the mountains.
  • All the oil money has been spent on good roads and tunnels.
  • Lots of very friendly people helping you out and glad to have you visiting.
  • Sørlandschips
Cons
  • Norway is powered by nature – this basically means it rains all the time.
  • The words ‘Norwegian’ and ‘cuisine’ are used for the first time together in this sentence, any country that devotes 50% of the freezer space in a supermarket to frozen pizza is really struggling.
  • No oil money was spent on tourist information: the offices are staffed by disinterested and unhelpful student workers (one sold us a 50 year old map!) and the leaflets were generally incomprehensible.

Anyway enough grumpy old man stuff… here’s the photos…


  • Dan Carroll: good luck mate
  • Ricardo: i like the point about the freezer space
  • Knut: I can see you caught the essence of Norway. Permanently wrapped Aksel in his raincoat, lots of mountains and old stuff, many hills to climb (coming do
