August 25, 2011
Thursday, July 7, 2011 - Tromsø, Norway: After our plane touched down in Tromsø from Oslo, we boarded motor coaches and enjoyed a trifecta of destinations. While listening to guides describe highlights of Tromsø along the way, our explorations began with a cable car ride up to Mount Storsteinen (the Big Rock Mountain in English), a Tromsø icon. Rising 421 meters above sea level, we marveled at pristine sunny panoramas of the city below before eating lunch and independently exploring easy trails around the gift shop and terrace.

Bergen, Norway
We came from many different corners of the globe—France, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Britain, and the U.S.—to arrive in Bergen, Norway. Clear skies and warm, sunny weather greeted us as we set out to explore the quaint, medieval wharf neighborhood of Bryggen, a World Heritage Site.
