Went to Norway, Denmark and Holland this year and here are the Norwegian photos. The rest to follow. We went for a family wedding. Arnt's family live 200 miles north of the arctic circle so flew up to Narvik and rented a car with his younger brother and his wife. Went to the fab 2 day wedding, drove to the Lofoten Islands and lots of family time. Attended a concert by his cousin in the new Opera House in Oslo. Sailed in a Colin Archer sailboat belonging to a family friend. Took the train over the mountain from Oslo to Bergen and back. Bergen is a world heritage town. Saw lots of maritime museums and art galleries. Mostly spent a lot of time with friends and family and enjoyed their lovely hospitality. Highly recommend a visit to this country!
