It's funny, I never thought I would visit Scandinavia. After the variety of places I've been lucky enough to visit, it hardly registered on my radar. But was I glad I did!! One can not imagine the variety of natural beauty that exists throughout Norway and Denmark... it's almost enough to make one stomach the insanely inflated cost of living.
Bergen turned out to my favorite city on this trip, partially due to this wonderful "park" at the top of the funicular. It turned out to be a Hansel-and-Gretal forest, unspoilt and inviting, and such a magnificent peek into what the perfect forest would look like.
The picturesque Nyhavn sported its colorful buildings and surprisingly good food on the edge of Copenhagen.
The view from the apartment was incredible. I wish I had a time-lapse camera to show how many faces the mouth of the fjord took on depending on the time of day.
It is insanely difficult to capture the enormous scope of Flam. The cliffs rise so high that small clouds manifest halfway up the canyon walls! The water is so serene and it's deafeningly quiet. There is no place I've found that instill as much natural grand-ness as Flam. Absolutely worth the expense and time it takes to arrive here.
