We made It to Norway!

Norway | Jul 6 - Jul 12, 2025

Being raised by a Mother whose heritage is all Norwegian my husband kept saying...I want to visit Norway! Wishes do come true! My husband and I experienced an impressive 6 day Norway in a Nutshell adventure planned with ease and guidance by Kim Kim. We were so pleased by all we were able to see and experience. Our trip included 2 days in Oslo, 2 days in Flam and 2 days in Bergen. Highlights included Vigeland Sculpture park and Edvard Munch Museum in Oslo, Kayaking and the RIB safari and cheese tasting in Flam and the Fanicular trip to the top of the mountain in Bergen. Of course there were other things we got to experience and enjoy but these were our highlights! The Sculpture park in Oslo is a must see. The artist spent 40 years of his life creating the most impressive sculptures depicting life moments. Unbelievably impressive. The views from the Flam railroad as we approached Flam were breathtaking. Being in Flam was definately our favorite. We loved kayaking the fjord with our guide and small group of kayakers. So many waterfalls! Our guide taught us about the history of the area and surely impressed us with his story telling and knowledge. Having cousins who were once goat farmers in the area made this part of our trip even that much more interesting. The RIB Safari and Undredal cheese tasting were another favorite. The guide was engaging and the cheese tasting really brought the area to life. I finally know why my mom always insisted on goat's cheese at our Christmas Eve table! Bergen, the city of my Great Grandmother, was bigger than I expected yet still charming . We did most of our shopping here :) . The Fanicular took us to the top of the highest of Bergen's 7 mountains. Amazing views, hiking and goats!! You can spend all day up there but go early or late as the lines to go up the mountain can be long if you go midday.
It was hard to say goodbye to Norway. We are very grateful to Kim Kim for all their support before, during and after our trip. We planned our trip in a very short time and they helped take the stress out of what turned out to be a truly memorable travel experience.
