For some reason I am particularily excited about Norway. What I knew about the country was... Olympics related, Viking Related, and Cookie Related. LOL I grew up next door to the most wonderful Norwegian Woman who baked the most amazing cookies, and breads. So I will say that tasting my way through Scandinavias bakeries is very exciting for me. I have also recently learned through my mom's Ancestry.ca DNA test that I have Scandinavian ancestry. COOL! Getting out and seeing the country is a priority for me in Norway. Not just seeing Oslo. And the country we want to see are the world famous fjords. 4 hours from Oslo by car, that's how long it will take us to get to them. We are planning a great day trip to see them, that will lead us into the mountains and valleys, through tunnels, boarding ferries, and possibly even a train ride. The list of things we are excited about on this trip is growing.
Jason is excited about the Vikings. Not just the tv show. The boats, the people, the history. He is determined to visit a museum, or settlement to learn some more of their history. I on the other hand am excited to visit this region to see some architecture that every little girl dreams of. The Castles. Denmark, Sweden and Norway all have Royal Families, and Royal Castles. There are many of them to see, to even tour. Because we wont have a lot of time in each place I am doing my due dilligence now and finding out which Castles are the ones I will add to my must see list. Can't wait!
