Last October my wife and I went on a two week Scandinavian road trip taking in
Norway,
Sweden and
Denmark with a final stop in
Berlin. I've finally gotten round to sifting through the digital mounds of photos from the journey and will be posting in bite-sized chunks.
The first stop was a rainy but beautiful
Bergen. We wondered the city and labyrinthine wood-panelled
Bryggen area then caught a funicular for the breathtaking view from
Fløyen. In the evening we had some heart-warming grub at
Pingvinen then imbibed the local
Nøgne Ø beer at the cosy
Henrik øl og Vinstove pub.
On the second day we hit the road and our route took us through the stunning
Hardangerfjord area onto the vast glacier of
Hardangervidda (Livin' le Hardangervidda!) via the
Vørringfossen waterfall. After a full day behind the wheel we parked up in pretty
Rjuken.
For our anniversary we continued south through some amazing autumnal landscapes to the coastal
Strand Hotell in
Fevik, a favourite retreat of Roald Dahl's apparently.
After a drive up the coast we spent a couple of days in lovely
Oslo soaking up the sights. Highlights included a walk on the
Opera House roof and a tour of the seriously impressive, and slightly warped,
Vigeland sculpture park. Evenings were spent playing old school arcade games at
Tilt, eating American style at the
Nighthawk Diner and drinking in Japanese Bar
Isayaka and cool boozer
Revolver.
