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
Oh, I’ve got to tell you about this place as I found it pretty special and I think you might too! See in Alesund, there are quite a few good hotels to stay in but if you’re looking for somewhere pretty special to stay in, you should look to spend a night in Molja Lighthouse. … 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

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
It’s been a while since we’ve been to Oslo! So much so that I kinda wondered if the city had changed much since we visited (I certainly know London had since that time) and if I would even remember my way around the city (I felt like I kinda mastered it last time). For Georgia … Continue Reading
This was probably one of the biggest gifts I personally got on our trip across the Nordics with Scandic and I will explain why later on. I don’t think even Scandic realised it at the time – I definitely didn’t) but before all that, let’s cover everything you need to know about getting to Pulpit Rock and the Lysefjord. … 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
There are so many best places in Norway to visit. I mean, you’ve got the Troms region in the very north, Alesund on the west coast and lovely little places like Flåm that are nestled deep in the mountains. Plus, don’t even get me started with all the incredible fjords you should visit. The whole … Continue Reading
You might have already seen the blog posts from our recent trip to the Nordics… If you have, then you don’t need much introduction to this video – it is essentially the video diary from our time in the Nordics (also known to some as Scandinavia). If you haven’t, then fret not – the links are … Continue Reading

Hotel Union Øye is a very special place – this was THE place where the aristocracy from Europe stayed in and it’s a interesting part of Norway’s culture and history. The hotel has been … Continue Reading

That’s why we’ve visited a few times now, it’s just perfect for those weekend breaks… especially as there are so many amazing things to do in Oslo. That being said, a weekend trip to Oslo … Continue Reading
One of the biggest sights I’d wanted to see in Bergen was the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bryggen. I’d spoken about it on the blog before and so when we finally booked our flights to Bergen, this was something I’d put at a high priority on my itinerary! First things first though, we checked … Continue Reading
The Norangsdalen valley is easily one of the most enchanting places in Norway! It’s one of those places that looks and feels like nowhere else you’ve ever visited. Crystal clear lakes, jagged impossibly-high snow-clad mountains and road that wind off with the promise of more amazing sights ahead. Seeing as we had several hours free … Continue Reading
