Norway !!!!!!
What a beautiful country from the small part we saw. Everywhere so clean no rubbish beside the roads like over here.
There is a really heavy fine if you don't use a seatbelt on the coaches or cars,way above what we would get fined.
So is it what I expected? yes and much more as well. All the Norwegians speak excellent English so no problem there but OH how expensive things are. bottle of coke £7, needless to say we took most things to eat and drink on board ship. We only had on day of rain so I stopped on board, my legs ached so much from the first 4 mile walk to a lighthouse. This was claimed to be over even ground, they forgot to mention the hills.
Already posted some photos in the forum to give some idea of the country.
Would i recommend it as a place to visit? definately the scenery is unbelievable. The tiny hamlets along the Fjords are squeezed into any level spaces some of only a couple of houses and the ferry boats are what appears to be the only way to go, but they do take cars as well.
to get to that glacier is one hell of a long walk and you need to be super fit, however they do have "Troll" cars
Which take you a long way but not right up to the glacier.
The whole place is a photographers heaven. From Fjords to mountain tops above the cloud level, and you sure do need a lot of memory cards for a camera. 200 photos a day at least is easily possible.
Would I go back? certainly but on another part of Norway.
Next trip is Japan so looking forward to that now
