Briksdal Glacier
My second visit to Olden allowed me the chance to make my first ever visit to a glacier. It was awesome to walk deeper into the fjords with the towing snow-capped mountains and the roar of water making its way into the fjords.

Scenic Skjolden
Overnight our cruise ship had navigated its way 200km to the end of Norway’s largest fjord to the very pretty village of Skjolden. This place was so good, it was impoassible to take a bad photo.

Haugesund – Back in Norway
The first port on my second cruise to Norway is Haugesand. It feels nice to be back in Norway, especially as the weather has improved significantly in the two weeks I was away.

Trolling Trondheim
Last night we headed north again to visit the city of Trondheim. Norway’s third largest city provided a wealth of history and Norwegian culture, including the spotting of a few more trolls.

The Magnificence of Molde
A small city in southern Norway provided stunning natural beauty and architectural heritage.

A Day in Alta
The warmest day experienced inside the Arctic Circle. Alta was a more modern city featuring the spectacular Northern Lights Cathedral.

Honningsvåg – The Top of Europe
The view from my beer comes from a pub in the Northern most city in continental Europe. It has taken a while, but we have finally reached the top of Norway and spent the day in charming Honningsvåg before we head south, and hopefully a warmer climate later today.

Trolling in Tromsø
Tromsø, the Northern Lights capital of Norway and deep in the land of the midnight sun. I have begun to believe paradise is not a place, it’s more a state of mind. Beauty abounds everywhere. It’s just packaged better in Tassie!

Mountaineering in Åndalsnes
The view from my beer today again comes to you from fjord country. Today it is the beautiful Åndalsnes and the view from up high (I really earned this beer)

Olden and Nordfjorden
The view from my beer. The Norwegian fjords have me searching for new and different superlatives to describe my view that I haven’t used before. What can I say, the world is filled with so many amazing places. This is one of them.
