Our winter adventure above Norway´s Arctic Circle
Nearly 20 years ago, I visited Norge for the first time – on a press trip sponsored by Visit Norway to capital Oslo, historic second city Bergen, and a Hurtigruten cruise to the fjords and up to far-northern Svalbard. It was all beautiful, of course, but it was in summertime, and over this past Christmas and New Year´s I had to privilege of coming back in winter. Naturally, it was a whole different – and a chilling yet in many ways even more enchanting – experience. read post

Nice blogs! I like how Bergen town is set amongst the hills - I've heard it's like that. We have not left Stavanger, actually - been much too busy with work. You can check out all of our Norway posts here:

a lot of it is expat-related stuff (which will answer your questions about what is good and not so good) but there are a few photo essays from Stavanger. Hoping to at least head up north at the start of next year.
Cheers,

How are you liking it? What's been toughest and what's been the most awesome?
Actually, I was just in Norway in August - but apart from Bergen and Oslo it was on a Hurtigruten cruise, so we were doing the usual port-hopping. It was my first visit to the country - very cool and had me intrigued enough to want to come back soon!
BTW here you can read my post on Hurtigruten and another on Bergen; plus I've got 3 more in the pipeline for September/October (2 Hurti, 1 Oslo).
Please keep us all posted on how things continue going - and also we'd love to get a dispatch from Stavenger here on the blog.
Lykke til!
Hi David, Thanks for asking =) We are still here...bit of an adjustment but things are going alright. Are you headed this way?
Andrea, how is it going/did it go in Stavenger?
We're moving to Stavanger shortly for work - would love any tips that members of this group have for Norway and look forward to checking out your blogs! http://inspiringtravellers.com/2012/02/15/moving-norway/
