Tomorrow Cherrie and I take off from Sydney, heading first to Copenhagen. Then after three days we fly to Oslo for a quick sleep before boarding the train bound for Bergen. Reported to be one of the most scenic train journeys in the world, we have three overnight stays in hotels. Oh goody, we can drag our over heavy bags between station and hotel. We tried to travel with carry on (remember NZ?) but we’re heading to the north pole practically and we thought we might need a sweater. And a puffa. And long johns. And gloves. And ski pants. And the beanie. Perhaps a scarf. And a pair of boots, for one of us at least. The other has two boots, but they don’t match. More on that later. So, it’s not carry on this time. Anyway, I’ve lost track. Something we hope the train doesn’t do. We’re going to experience the legendary Flam Railway, one of the world’s steepest railway lines (have they been to Katoomba I wonder), see waterfalls and fjords and experience Norway’s interior. Then from Bergen we board a small ship and travel to the northernmost point of Norway where we will marvel at the sight of the northern lights, which hopefully will be somewhat more spectacular than the brief green follow spot we saw over a mountain in Alaska. Back down the coast to the southernmost point of Norway and then around to Oslo. If you want to follow our adventure, which includes Helsinki, Stockholm, catching up with dear friends in Wales and a brief blarney in Dublin then this is the blog to follow.
