It was time. Our two weeks in Norway had begun, and I couldn’t have been happier. Our plane landed in Oslo around 4 PM after a surprisingly comfortable flight. We planned to stay in the city for three nights to ease back into the vibes. After my first visit, I had always wanted to return and experience more. To me, Oslo is a happy place. It’s calm yet lively, and when I crave some noise, I can always find it. The city is incredible, with fresh air and the kind of charm that makes you enjoy simply looking around.

Azores or as the portuguese say it Açores. The european Hawaii. One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. I was there with my girlfriend, my brother and his girlfriend. Let me share with you what we saw.

If we are in Norway we’re better to see some fjords. That was the idea. The closest option for some actual arctic looking fjord was the one next to a little town called Flåm. From Oslo it is a 7 hours train ride. So the next day we woke up early to catch that train and travel up north. If you ask a norwegian Flåm is still south but you know… from a certain point of view.

Here we are. My very first blog post. I’m planning to write a series of posts about this trip and this first one is only a high level plan and some background information. Mostly anecdotes to be honest. In the next one I’ll elaborate on the plan while I am in the process of making it. There I would like to get into budgets and itineraries. That should be the most useful one I’ll provide maps and suggestions. I’m not sure it’ll fit into one blog post we’ll see about that.
