Off on my dream tour today, we departed early for a trip to Myrdal where we were catching the scenic train to Flam, we got our first view of snow, lakes surrounded by mountains, deep valleys and amazing vistas. The autumn colours are mind blowing, to see it exactly how I've always wanted is a dream come true. We arrived in Flam which is a tiny little tourist village right on the edge of the Fjord we were about to cruise, in summer time it would be a bustling li...

Arrived in Oslo late and stayed at the Anker Hotel after being driven around in circles by the cabbie who wanted to make some extra money I guess as we were almost on the same street as the station.

We arrived in Stockholm and quickly found a cab to take us to our boat hotel whe...

Today was a late start with a train journey to Potsdam, we arrived with no idea where things were or what to do so decided to do a tour (our first for the trip). The tour provided headphones for your spoken language though we felt we missed out on a lot of information as the guide spoke a lot more than our headphones gave us so that was disappointing but we visited the largest summer palace in Europe and other amazing historical palaces, it was a 2.5 hour tour a...
