Decisions - decisions.

We took the train from Oslo to Bergen. It was great - one of the highlights of our trip to Norway. Obviously - it wouldn't be very exciting in the dark.

We are kind of "slow down and smell the flowers" travelers. We spent a few days in Bergen. One of the highlights was hiking up the hill on a Sunday afternoon with what seemed like most of Bergen for - well - an afternoon hiking up the hill .

Norway is very expensive for lots of things - especially "vices" - like alcohol and tobacco. If you have a fondness for either - bring your own in duty-free. Gas and food are also expensive. We got upgraded free about 3 car categories to a full size Volvo (we rented a car for part of our trip) - and when we went to fill up the gas tank - I saw that they weren't doing us any favors . Hotel prices - although not cheap - didn't shock us. Robyn
