Norway was a wonderful country to camp in. Both Sweden and Norway have a law, "Allemansratten" which is partly built on ancient Scandinavian tradition of mutual consideration and tolerance between landowners and the general public. It basically states that any person can camp for one night anywhere as long as no permanent damage is done and that one is at least 100 meters from a private home. We took advantage of this law several times to enjoy the beauty and solitude of nature. We also spent a few hours in Lillehammer the site of the Winter Olympics. The city is really small and it was fun to walk the streets. It was hotter than hot that day and we ended up eating pizza and sweating in the sun. Just click on any of the photos to get a closer look.

Oslo We hit Olso on a hot sunny day. That doesn't happen too often. There are toll roads leading into this city so be prepared if you are driving. You'll need Norwegian Kroners to get in. We spent a few hours on the port. It was a happening city. Raine and Todd rollerbladed. Ryann and Rylee walked. The beer was quite refreshing. Fjords We spent the rest of our time in Norway following the river valley towards the Sogn og Fjord. Norway is the most beautiful country we have ever seen. The views were spectacular. We saw some great Viking ruins including runic stones and burial sites. The Jotunheimen National Park was full of snow capped mountains. Ryann and Raine loved playing in the glacier snow.
