Norway Travel Journal

What I didn’t know about Norway before visiting that country could fill several large tomes. Of course, a “tome” is usually large. That’s pretty much part of the definition. But I mean a particularly large tome. There’s that much I don’t know.

Because I wrote this Norway category description before my first visit to the country, I still know little about it now. I know it has beautiful fjords. I’ve seen pictures. I know Oslo, which is usually proclaimed as a very liveable, walkable city, is its capital. I also know … no, that’s pretty much it.

After my visit, I hope to know more about Norway and some of its cities and fjords. You can read about it here.

This category will hold all journal entries about places I’ve visited in Norway. There are also subcategories for each overnight stop along the way. And this, in turn, is a subcategory of the Europe category.
