465.0. "Need help planning honeymoon in Norway" by ESTASI::VACCA () Tue Apr 30 1991 09:39

    Hello,
    
    
    I am a 25 years old colleague from Italy. I am going to spend my
    honeymoon in Norway from the 12th to the 26th of next June.
    Unfortunately I do not know anything about this country; anyway the
    purpose of this trip is to travel all around the fjords from Bergen to
    Cape North by train and boat, if it's possible, doing some trakking as
    well. Other suggestions for places to be seen are well accepted.
    I would like to know, in particular:
    
    - News about food, traditions, news about the country
    - Places to be seen 
    - Some reference about cottages, farms and cheap, nice places to sleep
    - Some trekking paths (if its possible)
    - Weather info 
    - Restaurants and other tipical places
    - Souvenirs
    
    
    I am waiting for a lot of replies ! Thanks for co-operation !!

465.2	Wild game is good!	CSC32::D_ROYER	Set course for Humanity, Warp 9.5!	`Thu May 16 1991 13:29`	14
	You can enjoy the mid summer nights fest, could even get some dusk about midnight, if you are in the south. Lots to do and see, just check a travel book. They are excellent. Food: Lots of fish. Reindeer it is excellent. Fowl (wild game is a specialty item) I do not know the name of that bird. Blood pudding is a delicacy??? I would like to try the whale (Hval) if they still have it. I do envy you, have an excellent time and let us know the details that are appropiate for the notes file. 8-) Dave
465.3	Travel report	ESTASI::VACCA	I love Norway	`Thu Sep 05 1991 07:22`	24
	I am back from my honeymoon. I spent 15 days travelling around Norway with my husband, a big rucksac and a pair of trekking shoes. We used just public transports and our feet and I can tell you it has been the best travel I have ever had in my life. Wonderful people, wonderful organization, wonderful outdoor !!! Fjords were fab: we enjoyed in particular Balestrand and Botnen. I can also suggest a tipical little, absolutely cheap pension in Aurland: it is called AAbelheim Pensjonat. There are only 3 rooms but you have the chance to spend a day in a really typical Norwegian home, which is completely at your disposal. Lovely. But, above all, we falled in love with Bodo and Lofoten Islands. We had a great time in Reine for a whole week, spending our days in long distance walkings and byking. I absolutely can't describe the wonderful vision of Lofoten Mountains and sea. It is worth the visit. If you have breath enough you absolutely have to try to reach A from Reine and then to get back...by byke. I am planning to come back there in a couple of years, THANK YOU NORWAY !! Love, B.
