Norway... I'm totally in love with this country. After being there for a few days I understood I've never seen anything like that. The fjords, the lakes, all the nature is fabolous and there are not enough words to describe everything I've seen there. The land of vikings and trolls, of Ibsen and Grieg, fresh air and brown cheese... Is it possible to tell all the feelings here?!

We entered Norway at the evening and we had a night in a small Scandic hotel in a small city near Oslo. The next day we didn't stay in Oslo but went to the Nerojfjord, the most narrow fjord in the world. The road from Oslo took about 4,5 hours but this was a very short time, because the road itself was so beautiful that everybody was looking out of the bus window being afraid to miss something. Untouched nature, beautiful green forests and clear blue rivers looking like a mirrors for the trees.

It was breathtaking!

We were swimming on a little boat there and we felt like we were in a fairy-tale.. The cleanest and the clearest water, the high rocks and the beautiful mountain rivers around... It was breathtaking! I couldn't come off from my camera, it was SO beautiful! It was rather cold and windy but sunny which made us feel even more fabolous and there was a feeling that the trolls would appear very soon and say "hello" to us.

After that little trip which was started in Gudvangen we arrived to Flam where we went to a railway to have a trip on the fjord. We saw very beautiful rivers and waterfall. Can you believe, there was a rainbow near the waterfall, and it was not above, but under it! Fantastic. Sorry, I'm not a writer and English is not my native language, I can describe that perfomance better. But you should believe it was charming.

The day was exhausting because of a long road, but it was WORTH it. If you've ever been to Norway you should understand me.
