B and I are just back from a quick trip across to Norway! My brother and his wife were travelling there and it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up - to hang out together on the other side of the world to usual.
We arrived in Bergen and it was beautiful, especially the old town of Bryggen. We wandered around and poked our heads up alleyway and side streets, admiring the weathered and worn timbers and buildings.
Before we left, we saw some most beautiful cherry blossoms.
The weather was not as kind in Voss - and it shows!
Luckily the next day dawned bright(ish) and we went for a magnificent ferry cruise through a fjord; and then an alpine train trip amongst the snow tops. Stunning.
And then back to Bergen in the sunshine!
It was a glorious few days and we would love to go back.
It sounds as if you had a thoroughly enjoyable time with the added pleasure of sharing it with family. What a stunningly beautiful country!
ReplyDeleteIt was eye-poppingly beautiful in places; the landscape was awesome in the best sense of the word; and the colourful buildings a delight. Plus we were lucky with the big blue skies...
