Norway is that country from the dreams that are just a few hours away. Still, it is usually not our first choice when looking for a destination and it was first in 2022 that we made a trip, or actually two. Visiting places like the Lofoten Archipelago, seeing a few of the many fjords, and then crossing the country at its widest point to Rosendal. Norway has in a short period of time created some amazing memories.
