So this is going to be a bit of a photo dump of a holiday post. I might do a few more posts later on of different things we did.
It was a dream holiday by all accounts. We hired a car (which gave us lots of freedom), we rented a cabin (with a hot tub), we took some trips, made some up ourselves, had some very rainy days, under packed for the weather.
It was an expensive trip for us, but we worked out it actually worked out far less than some of our friends spend on an all inclusive holiday to the sun.

| The ferry to Rosendale |
 |
| Our cabin was incredible |
 |
| Beautiful views and loads of space as well as a good kitchen |
 |
| The hot tub was a highlight for the kids - Especially as they live in a house where we don't have hot water everyday! |
 |
| Sunsets were breath taking |
 |
| Every view is like a postcard |
 |
| It wasn't warm on top of the boat! |
 |
| We manged a few walks- dodging showers! |
 |
| The old Bergen museum was a delight - my Middlest in her "future" bakery! |
 |
| A waterfall we could walk behind! |
 |
| Water featured a lot in this holiday! |
 |
| This boat was a particular highlight as we got to go and see "The queen of the fiords" |
 |
| I thought the suit was a bit of an overkill - IT WASN'T! lol |
 |
| There doesn't seem to ever be a moment this one doesn't look cool |
 |
| By the end we were all wet where the suits let water in! |
 |
| We met a troll! |
So there you go - a great holiday! I'm always glad to get home, but it was an incredible time away and one I'll always remember. The children were incredible company (and my wife obviously) and made travelling about just really easy.
Spectacular views - thank you for sharing your photos
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLooks like my sort of a vacation. I like getting off the beaten path a bit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and I'm never great where there is lots of people either so this was ideal for me.
DeleteWhat a great adventure, Kev! No doubt your kids will remember this holiday forever.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, but even if they don't it will form who they will become.
DeleteFantastic holiday and the views are truly breathtaking. Your children will remember this forever. I can imagine their school essays titled: "What I did on my school holday?"
ReplyDeleteKev, looks like a great holiday. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteIf helpful, we took a trip to Norway when I was 14 and I still remember it. The memories will stay with them.
Ah thanks! I can remember some from my childhood, or get the strangest snippet of somethign and I'm transported back.
Deletewhat a wonderful trip! nothing better than family vacations.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great experience to share together.
DeleteWhat a fab holiday, that's my type of holiday, I couldn't stand to be lying on a beach all day in the sort of heat they get these days. Glad you all had a good time, you deserve it after all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteI'm not great on a beach! An hour tops will do me. I blame too many hours on roofs in my 20s and 30s, I've no desire to be out in the sun!
DeleteI love love love Norway and you have captured so much of what makes it a special place. Expensive yes, but if you love the outdoors it is truly magnificent. I would live there again in a flash if ths opportunity arose. You all look so really happg with your holiday too. It's great to see a family that enjoys each other's company.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a lovely country, there wasn't a bit of aggression felt all week and that's incredible in itself. We all fell in love with it.
