Visiting Norway in April/May is a wonderful time. It was warm enough to be comfortable (6 to 20 C) with light sweaters but cool enough to avoid the summer crowds. Some days were rainy, but it rains a lot in Norway in late spring or summer too. Popular sites were nearly empty, so we had them all to ourselves. The views were spectacular! And the local people and guides well very kind and friendly. We are very likely to be repeat visitors.

The room was quite clean and new. We wish we had been on the boat for more hours... from 1:20 AM to 8:10 AM is not long enough for even a good sleep. A 12 to 16 h trip would be more reasonable.

Extremely beautiful trip lasting only 4 hrs... wish it were longer. But unfortunately we took only 2 photos!

Our most rainy day, but still well worth the time outside. But even on this day some sunshine.

Hi Mel and Charlene.

Coming here at this time of year as you did is a smart move, as you mentioned you will get some of the sceneries all to yourself and that is quite unique. And youre right that weather isnt always playing along here (but that can happen anytime of year) but gald you were enjoying the views. You are certainly most welcome to come back here!

Warm regards,
Tom
