Before going North we had a day in Oslo with
fantastic weather. We saw the Parliament buildings and the patron saint of
the city. |

The gateway to the
North is Tromso, a city which is still relatively warm because of the Gulf
stream and very lively. Most of it’s buildings are made of wood. |

The main reason for
going North was to see the Northern Lights. We were very lucky and had 2 days
of fantastic displays |
