Pulpit Rock In Norway is just incredible and the perfect place to hike. 🚶♂️ Towering an almighty 2,000 feet (610 Metres) high, Preikestolen (or Pulpit rock as many people call it) is one challenge that we had always wanted to accomplish while in Norway. The fjords themselves have always captured my imaginations, their dramatic landscapes, beautiful lakes … Continue Reading
If you’ve been on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter lately, then you already know about our#Nordics48h challenge. If you haven’t then here’s the lowdown – Scandic hotels invited us on a bit of a challenge to explore the Nordics in 48 hours. We had no clue where we would be going to, what we would be … Continue Reading
The beauty of Norway is something that always captures my attention; the stunning fjords, dramatic coastline and beautiful towns make this a country that truly deserves the hype. Honestly, there are so many of the best things to do in Alesund that you won’t know where to start. It’s a great little town for a visit … Continue Reading
Norway is one of those countries whose beauty constantly surprises me. I know part of it is down to my expectations (it gets really cold and dark over winter, it’s very expensive…and so on and so forth) but I wasn’t expecting to find myself falling in love with it more and more each time I … Continue Reading
The next morning, we woke up bright and early (perhaps too early?) to try to see the rest of the sights in the Norangsdalen valley before catching our ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger. As it turns out, our eagerness the day before meant that we’d actually covered pretty much the entire valley and had driven … Continue Reading
But first, let’s carry on where we left off (the previous post is available here if you haven’t seen it yet)… After our day exploring Tromso, we were very pleased with the idea of dinner followed by a quick dip in the hot tub (though perhaps it might have made sense to do it the … Continue Reading
There’s something so incredible about visiting the Nordic Countries, I’m not sure if it’s the crisp air or stunning scenery, but there’s something so special about this region. This is especially true with all the best places in the Nordic countries to visit. The best part about these countries though is that there’s such a … Continue Reading
The Norangsdalen valley is easily one of the most enchanting places in Norway! It’s one of those places that looks and feels like nowhere else you’ve ever visited. Crystal clear lakes, jagged impossibly-high snow-clad mountains and road that wind off with the promise of more amazing sights ahead. Seeing as we had several hours free … Continue Reading
Yup! We’re up in the Arctic Circle. I am writing this post looking right outside my window at a snow-clad mountain in one of the most beautiful places (and certainly the highest place) we’ve ever visit – Tromso in Norway. Sounds like a bold claim but I’m gonna put the photos down below and you … Continue Reading
One place I’d always wanted to visit in Norway was Tromso. It’s one of the highest places you can visit – not just in Europe but in the world, so much so that it’s in the Arctic circle! Unlike other parts of the Arctic circle, there’s no chance of you running into polar bears here … Continue Reading
There are so many great reasons to visit Norway. In fact, I’d even go as far as saying it’s probably hard to find a reason not to! (Yup, even the cold isn’t an excuse as it gets incredibly warm in summer). Like other Nordic countries (here’s looking at you Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark), Norway is one … Continue Reading
The final part of the Nordic expedition and the home of the Nobel prize – Oslo! Didn’t find any old Vikings however did find some trolls! 🙂 Nice start to the expedition I say…hehe!!! Excited to be in Oslo… clearly! Time for a gander about town… …before wrestling a statue for my scarf! Osadebay … Continue Reading
Perched in the southern region of Norway, Oslo is the capital city that’s totally gorgeous for a weekend trip away. That’s why we’ve visited a few times now, it’s just perfect for those weekend breaks… especially as there are so many amazing things to do in Oslo. That being said, a weekend trip to Oslo … Continue Reading
I have raved over and over again about how amazing taking the train from Bergen to Flam (home of one of Norway’s majestic, UNESCO World Heritage Fjords) is and I finally have evidence of it! It’s easily the most amazing train ride I’ve been on and one that totally turned my perception of train journeys … Continue Reading
