Apologies for one more non-stationery recap, but hopefully I’ll make up for it with gorgeous pictures. I got back about 1am last night (this morning?) from a 12-day trip to Norway. It was in a single word: amazing.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a more beautiful country. Every day we were surrounded by forests, waterfalls, fjords, lakes, sheep and too many beautiful sights to document. There was a lot of running and walking, enjoying being outdoors, sampling new cuisine (surprise: not as much fish as I thought there would be), and meeting new people. There was also a little drinking, some journaling, and lots of making memories that will last a lifetime. You can find my full Flickr album here, but I’ve added a few of the highlights below:
Waterfalls everywhere (this one in Lillehammer)
Maihaugen “open air” museum Lillehammer – featuring traditional Norwegian houses dating back to the 1400s and 1500s
Ronadane Nasjonal Park
Lots of sheep!
Gjendesheim Lake
Reindeer sighting!
Geiranger Fjord and waterfall
Salty licorice anyone?
Running the Atlantic Ocean Road – an archipelago at the western-most point of Norway. Also featured in the most recent Bond movie!
Traditional Norwegian cuisine (and coffee) on top of a mountain!
The final run – not pictured rocky paths, SO MUCH MUD, boggy marshes.
Galdhoppigen – the tallest peak in Norway (and glacier sighting!)
More new toys and reviews next week!
So amazing! Beautiful pictures! Wow!
