We started our trip in Bergen, the second largest city in Norway. We took a historic walking tour of Bryggen Bergen, visited a beautiful church, and walked through the fish market. An entire day was spent touring Sognefjord complete with a trip up the historic Flam railway and lunch at Aegir Brew Pub. We traveled out to Troldhaugen to see Edvard Greig's home and enjoy a concert at the most stunning concert venue. We had delicious dinners at Marg & Bein and Lysverket.
In order to travel up to the more serene parts of the fjords, we took a cruise ship overnight up to Alesund where we rented a car to drive around the picturesque fjords. We stayed at the most dreamy places: Hotel Union Oye, Juvet Landscape Hotel, and Storfjord Hotel. We hiked around the waterfalls at Geirangerfjord, up Slogen on Norangsfjord, and along a beautiful path with many sheep on Tafjord. Driving around the fjords was breathtakingly beautiful. We had to take a number of car ferries to get across the fjords and the views from these were simply amazing.
Our trip ended in Oslo where we had a few days to check out Norway's capitol. Our most memorable dinner of the trip was hands down at Maaemo - an incredibly special evening. We took a tour of the opera house, visited the Munch Museum and the viking ship museum. An amazing guide took us on a 3 hour walking tour to the grand palace and taught us a bit of Norwegian history.
I love our adventures exploring the world. I feel like a reset button has been pushed. We returned from Norway with a fresh start and clear heads.
