Couple photos of camping in Northern Norway, and the last one of my trying to look at mountains in Lofoten Islands.

You can travel easily by train and bus from Gothenburg to Oslo. I dediced to go with the Norwegian High Speed Train for 45€. You will need nearly 4h for this distance. But the great landscape compensates you for the duration. Within the train you can expect wifi, plug sockets and free coffee. Unfortunately there is nor real restaurant on board of this train - a vending machine only. Overall the experience is quiet positive as it is a very comfortable to travel between these cities. 1:24 Traditional streetcar from Gothenburg 1:50 Lake before the Norwegian border 2:07 Stopover in Halden - The first Norwegian City behind the border 4:20 Arriving at Oslo Central Station Please find more information about train travel in Europe on my website:

Fjord Norway has a rich historical heritage and many visible traces of the Vikings, who ruled the country for an era between AD 800 to 1066. Georg Olafr Reydarsson Hansen is the nearest you’ll get to a real life Viking. Georg and other Viking enthusiasts meet every year at the Viking Market in Gudvangen. A Viking village is under construction here, situated in spectacular scenery at the end of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Nærøyfjord. http://www.fjordnorway.com/top-attrac...

The Norway film tells the story of Scotland’s twin nation. We have the same population, share the oil, gas and fishing resources of the North Sea and have similar geography. But over the last 200 years Norway has withdrawn from a Union with first Denmark and then Sweden and has invested its oil wealth wisely while Margaret Thatcher squandered ours. This much we already know. But did you know Norwegians have chosen to continue paying some of the highest personal taxes in the world to stabilise their oil-based economy – using the oil fund only to top up budgets not underpin them? Did you know hydro was the first big energy revolution, possible because Norway had no feudal landowners blocking the development of free energy for all? And – perhaps most importantly – did you know the widespread ownership of land in the 19th century meant Norway created one of the world’s widest electorates and therefore one of its most egalitarian parliaments? These democratic achievements underpin Norway’s success every bit as much as independence and raise hopes and tough questions about Scotland’s future. Can we hope to use renewables to match the incredible achievements of our twin nation?
