Next day morning, the breakfast was quite good though. We drove to Fleischer’s hotel, returned the car and walked to platform in time to catch the train to Oslo. The train journey was about 5.5 hrs and the initial portion of the journey was through the snow-covered mountains and it was quite spectacular to see…

After the breakfast at Nes Gard, we continued on Hwy 55 further down until it ended at Hwy 5. We took the Hwy 5 towards Flam and continued on E16 towards Borgund Stave Church, another Stave Church that is much bigger than the one we visited in Lom. Unlike Lom, Borgund Stave Church is not…

Started off with a scrumptious breakfast at the Hjelle Hotel. Our plan is to continue on the Hwy 15 towards Lom and proceed to Hoyheimsvik for our stay at the Nes Gard.   The drive on Hwy 15 from Hjelle to Lom was something that we were skeptical about because a stretch of the road goes…

The next day, we vacated the place and stopped by the Geiranger town for a tasty hot chocolate breakfast at Geiranger Sjokolade where we also grabbed locally made chocolates. Next is our longest ferry ride in a fjord to get to Hellesylt. 2.5hrs of amazing ride that curved several times giving everchanging views of the…

While the visitor center felt like a winter wonderland, further drive beyond that led us to an unbelievable landscape with greenery in the foreground, streams of water along and tall snow covered mountains around. Norwegians had constructed roads to places that seemed like they just wanted to drive around for enjoyment as we could see…

From the cabins, it was very close to get to the famous winding roads of the Trollstigen, but the cabin hosts had indicated that due to a film shooting that day, the roads maybe closed. We checked their fb page and it said the same thing. So, we were disappointed that we may have to…

From Alesund, it was a short drive to get to the Rampestreken Starting point for the hike to Romsdalvegen viewpoint.  We had some quick bite to eat before starting to hike. The instructions/map at the trailhead was not so clear. So, we decided to check with couple of people who appeared to be relaxing after…

We drove from Molde towards Alesund to the Aksla viewpoint. To get out of Molde, we had to take a ferry across fjord. Little did we know that this would be first of many ferries in the days to come. The Aksla viewpoint is situated in an apt location to get a view of the…

To experience the drive along the Atlantic Ocean Road, we took a detour to go through Kristiansund, then onto the Atlantic Ocean Road and towards Molde. On the way, literally in the middle of nowhere, there was a food truck serving amazing Thai Food! When we reached the entrance of the Atlantic Road, we had…

Our short Norway sojourn started in Trondheim, which is known for its combination of history and hi-tech with its 11th century Cathedral, largest wooden royal residence in Scandinavia and hosting a University known for its expertise in high tech. The very drive from Trondheim airport to the hotel gave an indication that the region is…
