Arctic Awakening

Okay!  I admit, the name of this post was totally stolen!  From Hutigruten!  But I couldn't come up with a better description myself! 

The first half of May this year, 2016, we spent a wonderful 16 days exploring Bergen and Oslo and the magically beautiful coast of Norway, sailing along fjords and enjoying the most beautiful scenery.



After having spent 2 days wandering around Bergen, we boarded the Hutigruten ship, Finnmarken, for our journey north, as north as we would probably ever get. Unless.....

Hutigruten's Finnmarken.  Our rather comfortable ride up north and back.





What a beautiful country Norway is!  Oxblood red wooden houses against a back drop of green hills and snow covered mountains! 


And then crossing the Arctic Circle  we went all the way to the North Cape and beyond.
