This region of Norway is gorgeous, especially from the best viewpoint in Bergen. After our late lunch in Bryggen, we made our way to the Fløibanen station to take the funicular up to Mount Fløyen for the best view of all of Bergen! This view is particularly spectacular as the sun sets so make sure … Continue Reading

Yup! We’re up in the Arctic Circle. I am writing this post looking right outside my window at a snow-clad mountain in one of the most beautiful places (and certainly the highest place) we’ve ever visit – Tromso in Norway. Sounds like a bold claim but I’m gonna put the photos down below and you … Continue Reading

If you have been following our Instagram updates from the last week, you would have noticed that we had a marvellous opportunity to visit Bergen, Norway, which was a dream come true! Bergen has been on our lists of city-lust list for quite some time…. And it is with no surprise that I was happy … Continue Reading

After that ‘refreshing’ dip in the Arctic Sea, we meandered slowly through the city centre of Tromso before heading to our new hotel, smack in the centre of the action (I use that term lightly – it was a long public holiday so the city wasn’t nearly as busy as it typically would be). Our … Continue Reading

Pulpit Rock In Norway is just incredible and the perfect place to hike. 🚶‍♂️ Towering an almighty 2,000 feet (610 Metres) high, Preikestolen (or Pulpit rock as many people call it) is one challenge that we had always wanted to accomplish while in Norway. The fjords themselves have always captured my imaginations, their dramatic landscapes, beautiful lakes … Continue Reading

After lunch in Alesund and lusting over lighthouses, we carried on in the laid-back spirit with which we started the day and gallivanted through the town… Stopping off to say hi to Alesund’s very own grumpy cat (at the local glassblower’s) – a cat so grumpy it needed a sign to stop you from stroking … Continue Reading

Norway is one of those countries whose beauty constantly surprises me. I know part of it is down to my expectations (it gets really cold and dark over winter, it’s very expensive…and so on and so forth) but I wasn’t expecting to find myself falling in love with it more and more each time I … Continue Reading

Hi! This is gonna be a really quick post! 🙂 If you’ve been on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook lately then you probably have a sense of what we have been getting up to in our 48-hour challenge across the Nordics with Scandic Hotels. It has been amazing! 🙂 We’ve done and seen so many amazing stuff that I … Continue Reading

Arriving in Geiranger, one of the very first things I knew I had to do was to head to the spot where I could get that iconic view of the village and its fjord… well that and checking into the hotel (perhaps even for a little snooze?). As it turns out, the spot with the … Continue Reading

There are so many great reasons to visit Norway. In fact, I’d even go as far as saying it’s probably hard to find a reason not to! (Yup, even the cold isn’t an excuse as it gets incredibly warm in summer). Like other Nordic countries (here’s looking at you Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark), Norway is one … Continue Reading

Yup! We’re in Norway now for our trip to Bergen and to the Fjords! The Fjords of Norway and indeed Bergen are places we’ve wanted to visit for a while so we’re understandably excited about it. As per usual,  we’ll be posting (A LOT) on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter so do join in the fun on there … Continue Reading

Check our really short 39 second video with some rather EXCITING NEWS!!!

Scandinavian food is delicious but also it’s an incredible region of Europe to visit. I’s stunning places are just made even better with all the best Scandinavian dishes to try.    Honestly, it doesn’t matter if you’re visiting Norway, Sweden, Denmark or countries like the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Finland; there’s a whole heap of … Continue Reading

I maaaaay have over-indulged at dinner the night before. The good thing about that though – combined with the clear sea breeze meant that I slept rather soundly that night. (Seriously, nothing beats a good night’s sleep when you’re travelling). The next morning (after breakfast, of course), packed our bags, bade farewell to our hotel … Continue Reading
