Who said, “all good things must come to an end” must have had today in mind as this is to be our last day in Oslo and in Norway. We had a wonderful time on this journey and intend to enjoy what today has to offer. We are leaving Oslo on a 9:25 pm flight […]
MoreWe were in no rush this morning, unlike our friends from Georgia who had to be in the lobby at 3am to meet the Viking representative for their trip to the airport. Talk about a tough flight schedule. We on the other hand were able to take our time and enjoy our second day in […]

It is the third biggest cruise port in Norway and is listed as a […]

As a result, we missed one of our scheduled tours, The Romsdal Open Air Museum, and the other, The Molde Highlights, was rescheduled to […]
