Lofoten!!! Above the Arctic Circle!!!
Okay, so making it to a place that is above the Arctic Circle is something I’ve always wanted to do. Yay for crossing that one off my list! And I can tell you that the Lofoten Islands didn’t disappoint. On our first day, we arrived early due to the SAS airline strike & our changed…
A Beautiful Cathedral & an Airline Strike
The bus/train ride north from Ålesund to Tronheim was a lovely way to see the countryside the way the locals do. Our train stopped in Dombås, where we ate lunch. In Trondheim we took a guided-walking tour that ended with a private tour into the seldom seen parts of the cathedral. These included the crypt…
An Overnight Ferry and (sticking with the boating theme) Kayaks!

It was a nice way to rest up while traveling through some incredible fjords. I would definitely recommend this ship. While…

We Made it to Oslo!!!
Well, as often happens, sleep on the airplane did not happen for most of us. To Murphy‘a delight, Oslo has many little playgrounds all over the city; including one right outside the central train station. You can’t do much better than a playground & ice cream after a long flight. We made it until 6:00…
