I wake up to sunrise poking through the clouds over mountains on the horizon. Breakfast, and then more photography outside. We pass under a bridge whose type seems to be common in these parts, connecting various islands and bridging fjords. I spend a few hours writing up my blog and sorting out my photos from yesterday.

Twenty years ago to this very day, I had the delight of seeing Paris for the first time. I was encapsulated by all the man-made structures and the beauty of the surroundings on that St. Valentine’s Day. Now, exactly twenty years on, I am astounded by nature’s own beauty, here in Norway.

Full write up soon, but…oh…my…god…… last night’s display of the Northern Lights  was awesome!! Wish I could capture all of it, but the sights were out of this world.

Friday the thirteenth. If you’re at work, it’s unlucky for you, but for me, this trip is just getting better and better. I must say that I’m really enjoying this – it’s pretty much everything I’d hoped for and I just feel really content right now. I’m writing the first part of the blog entry [...]

My alarm wakes me up at 5:15 after just a few hours sleep. The room was quite noisy as it was directly opposite reception and the temperature was a little too warm for my liking, but I feel fine. It’s the first proper day of my holiday – I’m flying to Norway today! Transport to [...]

Wake up around 10am after a late night preparing stuff on my laptop and phone. I debate the merits of technology – it may save a lot of time, but you also have to spend a lot sometimes to ensure that it will all work and that you have everything on it when you’re on [...]

Wow. Norway is beautiful…. and so are the women! Flew over a ragged, snowy landscape then onto forests of postcard scenes. Mountains appeared in the distance, framing this winter paradise. Pretty blondes abound. Can’t wait for more of the same of either! Full update later, hopefully.

Waiting in Denmark for connecting flight. The local language sounds like it’s being spoken backwards at times! Copenhagen airport seems very nice. Norway here I come….
