Norway by Andrea Albertino

First day in Norway: We landed in Oslo and we spent a relaxing evening visiting the Aker Brygge and enjoying a great dinner in a restaurant overlooking the sea.

Second day: We reached Bergen travelling all day long by bus (from Oslo to Honefoss); by train (from Honefoss to Myrdal and from Myrdal to Flam); and by ferry along the spectacular landscape of Sognefjord. We approached the Brygge at around 9 pm.

Beautiful Bergen

Fourth day: We travelled north by car, enjoying the spectacular view of the Geiranger fjord.

Fourth day: We left Geiranger behind and climbed up to the Trollstigen pass. Thanks to a clear and mild day the landscape from the top was simply gorgeous.

Fifth day: A never ending sunset and a delicious dinner combined for a memorable evening spent in Trondheim.

Seventh day: Moving north, we left the spectacular E6 (arctic road) and reached Storvik, jumping on and off the Fjord ferries and enjoying the peaceful landscape of the region.

Eighth day: Four times a day nature offers a spectacular show of Maelstrom in Saltstraumen. According to the tide movement, the water moves from the fjord to the sea or from the sea to the fjord; and during the most intense movement you can see whirlpools formed in the water. Ask local people for a tide timetable and hope to get there during the Midnight Sun.

 Tenth day: We travelled from Bodo to Moskenes and visited the lovely village of ‘A’ on the Lofoten Islands.

Tenth day: The National Tourist Route of Lofoten offers visitors surprising white and sandy beaches.

Eleventh day: We said goodbye to this heaven while experiencing another great Midnight Sun in Vestpollen, just a few km from Svolvaer, the biggest town in the Lofoten Islands.

“I was born in 1982 close to Turin, Italy. I earned a PhD in chemistry in 2010 and now work as a technologist in a flavour company. I developed a passion for photography three years ago, starting with digital and moving on with analogical cameras. One year ago, I created a website to share my photo shots and my travel experiences. To see my pictures, have a look at: www.andreaalbertino.com
