Fjord Norway in
an applebox - so much more than a nutshell. Eplet one week from Oslo:
This compact one-week trip is for those that are
willing to travel quite a lot, want to see both the fjords, the mountains and
the coast and want to
experience as much as possible in just 7 days. With Oslo as starting and ending
point. The trip is not possible with
car, I generally reccomend using public transportation in Norway. Remember that
you need good batterycapacity for your camera and a lot of time afterwards to
really consume this experience :)
