Trip to Norway, May 2017


Thanks to Kristin's hours of work reading Rick Steve's Norway book, then hours  on the internet planning our destinations to musuems, stave churches etc., our rides on trams, trains, ferry boats, a rental car and airlines, our reservations on Air B &B, a cabin at a Norwegian farm, a century old hotel on a fjord, we had the trip of a lifetime to Oslo, Frederickstad,  Lillehammer, Lom, the Jotunheimen Mountains, the Sognefjord, Balestrand, Flam, Bergen and Amsterdam. 

The trip was due to Kristin's expertise and love of travel.  She adheres to the Nielson Travel Policy, see everything you can in a country while there is still daylight. Daylight lasted from 4:30 AM to 11 PM, so there was not a moment wasted. We cannot thank Kristin enough for her extraordinary efforts.  We enjoyed Ryan's company, ask him how many legs a roasted chicken has and the company of  six year old Thor, who we called Damon.  He traveled with his hammer, Mjolnir. However, he visited a toy store in Bergen and morphed into a Viking with helmet, sword and shield. The Viking traveled to Salt Lake with us and fell asleep in the baggage claim area.  A 9.5 hour on a plane is exhausting for anyone, even a Viking.
