Here are some pics from our travels around Norway and from our Nutshell tour, which went from Oslo to Dombås, along the Dovrebanen Railway, then to Åndalsnes and on to the German Art Nouveau city of Ålesund. Then we took a Hurtigruten cruise along the Geiranger fjord, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. After a full day in Bergen and a visit to Grieg's home, we took the Bergen Railway through Voss and stopped in Flåm before returning to Myrdal view the dramatic Flam Railway. More pics to follow!
At the cottage, Risør, where the boys fished for mackerel.
Don't forget about me.
Risør church where we heard Leif Ove Andnes. I met him after his concert and he signed a c.d. of Grieg for Walter.
Heddal Stave Church, the largest of Norway's surviving stave churches. Most of it was built around 1250 and extensively restored in 1952.
View along journey from Voss to Gudvangen.
